Question

11 bags of wheat flour each marked 5kg actually contains the following weights of flour in KG 4.97 5.05 5.08 5.08 5.00 5.06 5.08 4.98 5.0 4 5.0 7 5.00 Find the probability that any of these bags chosen at random contains more than 5 kg of flour​

Answer 1

p(getting more than 5kg) = no. of bag contains more than 5kg/total no of bag.

total no of bag = 11.

no. of bag weighting more than 5kg = 7.

p(getting bag weighting more than 5kg)=

7/11.

hence the probablity of getting bag weighting more than 5kg is 7/11 or 0.636.
