the answer is 0.71

Step-by-step explanation:

it told me

The probability the next customer will pay with something other than a credit card is 0.71.

What is probability?

Probability deals with the occurrence of a random event. The chance that a given event will occur. It is the measure of the likelihood of an event to occur.The value is expressed from zero to one.

For the given situation,

Number of customers paid cash = 83

Number of customers used a debit card = 16

Number of customers used a credit card = 41

Total number of customers = 140

The probability that the next customer will pay with something other than a credit card is

P(e) = (Number of customers paid cash + Number of customers used a  debit card) / Total number of customers.

⇒ [tex]P(e)=\frac{83+16}{140}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]P(e)=\frac{99}{140}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]P(e)=0.7071[/tex] ≈ [tex]0.71[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the probability the next customer will pay with something other than a credit card is 0.71.
