Question

The manager of a video game store found that 35 of the 140 people who preordered the latest baseball game canceled their orders the day before the game was released. He used that data to create a simulation to predict the probability that future customers will cancel their preorders.

According to the manager’s model, what is the probability that two customers who preorder the newest golf game will both cancel their orders the day before the game is released?

A.) 1/16

B.) 1/8

C.) 1/4

D.) 1/2

Answer 1

As given in the question 35 out of 140 people who ordered baseball game canceled the order.

So the probability of people canceling the order before release = 35/140 = 1/4.

 

So, for any number of customers, the probability of people who canceled the order before release does not change and it is 1/4.

So the answer is 1/5
