The table shows the number of video games sold worldwide for the five highest-selling video games in 2010. Assuming this trend continues and that the total sales of ail other video games is negligible, if a person chooses to purchase one of these video games, determine the empirical probability that the person will purchase

Solution

Probability of games sold = (Number of games sold) / Total number of games

Hence:

P ( Game 2) = 17,830,000 / 67,430,000

= 1783 / 6743

P ( Game 5) = 8,530,000 / 67,430,000

= 853 / 6743

P ( Game 1) = 18,350,000 / 67,430,000

= 1835 / 6743

Hoppe this helps.
