Eleven bags of wheat flour, each marked 5 Kg, actually contained the following weights of flour (in kg):
4.97, 5.05, 5.08, 5.03, 5.00, 5.06, 5.08, 4.98, 5.04, 5.07, 5.00
Find the probability that any of these bags chosen at random contains more than 5 kg of flour.
उत्तर
The total number of trials is 11.
Remember the empirical or experimental or observed frequency approach to probability.
If n be the total number of trials of an experiment and A is an event associated to it such that A happens in m-trials. Then the empirical probability of happening of event A is denoted bY P (A) and is given by
P (A) = `m/n`
Let A1 be the event that the actual weight of a chosen bag contain more than 5 Kg of flour.
The number of times A1 happens is 7.
Therefore, we have`P (A_1)=7/11`

Monthly income (in Rs.) |
Vehicles per family | |||
| 0 | 1 | 2 | Above 2 | |
| Less than 7000 | 10 | 160 | 25 | 0 |
| 7000 – 10000 | 0 | 305 | 27 | 2 |
| 10000 – 13000 | 1 | 535 | 29 | 1 |
| 13000 – 16000 | 2 | 469 | 59 | 25 |
| 16000 or more | 1 | 579 | 82 | 88 |
Suppose a family is chosen, find the probability that the family chosen is
(i) earning Rs 10000 − 13000 per month and owning exactly 2 vehicles.
(ii) earning Rs 16000 or more per month and owning exactly 1 vehicle.
(iii) earning less than Rs 7000 per month and does not own any vehicle.

(v) owning not more than 1 vehicle.
A teacher wanted to analyse the performance of two sections of students in a mathematics test of 100 marks. Looking at their performances, she found that a few students got under 20 marks and a few got 70 marks or above. So she decided to group them into intervals of varying sizes as follows: 0 − 20, 20 − 30… 60 − 70, 70 − 100. Then she formed the following table:-
| Marks | Number of students |
| 0 - 20 | 7 |
| 20 - 30 | 10 |
| 30 - 40 | 10 |
| 40 - 50 | 20 |
| 50 - 60 | 20 |
| 60 - 70 | 15 |
| 70 - above | 8 |
| Total 90 | |
(i) Find the probability that a student obtained less than 20 % in the mathematics test.
(ii) Find the probability that a student obtained marks 60 or above.

80 bulbs are selected at random from a lot and their life time (in hrs) is recorded in the form of a frequency table given below:
| Life time (in hours) | 300 | 500 | 700 | 900 | 1100 |
| Frequency | 10 | 12 | 23 | 25 | 10 |
One bulb is selected at random from the lot. The probability that its life is 1150 hours, is
