Answer:

0.395

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability that none of the three shoppers purchased electronics is shown below:

So, first we have to determine the number of shoppers without considering the purchase i.e

= Total number of shoppers - electronics

where,

Total number of shoppers = Offices supplies + electronics + clothing + beauty supplies - electronics

= 18 + 25 + 40 + 12 - 25

= 95 - 25

= 70

Now the probability is

= [tex]\frac{70}{95}\times\frac{69}{94}\times\frac{68}{93}[/tex]

= 0.395
