Question

in a popular online role playing game, players can create detailed designs for their characters \costumes,\ or appearance. charlotte sets up a website where players can buy and sell these costumes online. information about the number of people who visited the website and the number of costumes purchased in a single day is listed below. 109 visitors purchased no costume. 129 visitors purchased exactly one costume. 18 visitors purchased more than one costume. based on these results, express the probability that the next person will purchase no costume as a fraction in simplest form. answer attempt 1 out of 2 submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Find total number of visitors

To find the total number of visitors, we add the number of visitors in each category: those who purchased no costume, exactly one costume, and more than one costume.
So, total visitors = \(109 + 129 + 18\)
First, calculate \(109+129 = 238\), then \(238 + 18 = 256\).

Step2: Calculate the probability

The probability that a visitor purchases no costume is the number of visitors who purchased no costume divided by the total number of visitors.
Number of visitors who purchased no costume is \(109\), total visitors is \(256\).
So the probability is \(\frac{109}{256}\) (since 109 is a prime number and does not divide 256, the fraction is in simplest form).

Answer:

\(\frac{109}{256}\)
