O A. P($120 or more) = 1 - P($120 - $159.99) O B. P($120 or more) = P($120 - $159.99) O C. P($120 or more) = P($120 - $159.99) + P($160-$199.99) - P($200 or more) O D. P($120 or more) = P($120 - $159.99) + P($160 - $199.99) + P($200 or more) The probability that a randomly chosen customer spent $120 or more is (Simplify your answer.) b) What formula should be used to find the probability that a randomly chosen customer did not spend less than $80? O A. P(not less than $80)=P($80 - $119.99) O B.
