Solution

To find the probability that all three shoppers purchased toys, we need to calculate the probability of each shopper selecting a toy purchase, one at a time without replacement.

Step 1: Calculate the probability of the first shopper selecting a toy purchase. There are 28 shoppers who purchased toys out of a total of 90 shoppers. Therefore, the probability of the first shopper selecting a toy purchase is 28/90.

Step 2: Calculate the probability of the second shopper selecting a toy purchase. After the first shopper selects a toy purchase, there are now 27 shoppers who purchased toys out of a remaining total of 89 shoppers. Therefore, the probability of the second shopper selecting a toy purchase is 27/89.

Step 3: Calculate the probability of the third shopper selecting a toy purchase. After the first and second shoppers select toy purchases, there are now 26 shoppers who purchased toys out of a remaining total of 88 shoppers. Therefore, the probability of the third shopper selecting a toy purchase is 26/88.

Step 4: Calculate the overall probability of all three shoppers selecting toy purchases. To find the overall probability, we multiply the probabilities from each step together: (28/90) * (27/89) * (26/88) = 0.105

Therefore, the probability that all three shoppers purchased toys is 0.105, rounded to three decimal places.
