Answer:

The probability that the next customer will pay with cash is [tex]\mathbf{\frac{21}{118}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of customers who paid cash = 21

Number of customers who used debit card = 63

Number of customers who used credit card = 34

We need to find  the probability that the next customer will pay with cash as a fraction in simplest form.

The formula used is: [tex]Probability=\frac{Number \ of \ favourable \ outcomes}{Total \ number \ of \ outcomes}[/tex]

Total customers = 21+63+34 = 118

The number of favourable outcomes = 21 (Customers who paid cash)

So, the probability will be:

[tex]Probability=\frac{Number \ of \ favourable \ outcomes}{Total \ number \ of \ outcomes}\\Probability=\frac{21}{118}\\[/tex]

So, probability that the next customer will pay with cash is [tex]\mathbf{\frac{21}{118}}[/tex]
