The probability that the next customer will pay with cash is 0.76

Formula to find the probability of an event is:

P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

where;

n(A) is the number of favorable outcomes of an event A

n(S) is the total number of outcomes for an experiment/survey

We are given that;

45 customers paid cash

8 customers used a debit card

6 customers used a credit card.

Thus, the total number of customers:

n(S) = 45 + 8 + 6

n(S) = 59

Let event A be the event that the next customer will pay with cash. Thus, n(A) = 45

Therefore, the probability that the next customer will pay with cash would be;

P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

P(A) = 45/59

P(A) = 0.76
