Question

violet owns a small business selling clothing. she knows that in the last week 53 customers paid cash, 3 customers used a debit card, and 2 customers used a credit card. based on these results, express the probability that the next customer will pay with cash or a credit card as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of customers

Total customers = \(53 + 3+2=58\)

Step2: Calculate number of customers who paid cash or credit card

Number of customers who paid cash or credit card = \(53 + 2=55\)

Step3: Calculate the probability

Probability \(P=\frac{55}{58}\approx0.95\)

Answer:

\(0.95\)
