Question

14 packets of biscuits each marked 2 kg, actually contained the following weights (in kg).

1.97, 2.02, 2.08, 2.03, 2.00, 2.05, 2.08, 1.98, 1.99, 2.06, 2.07, 1.99, 2.00, 2.04

Find the probability that any of these packets chosen at random contains

(i) More than 1.5 kg of the biscuits.

[1]

(ii) Less than 2 kg of the biscuits​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. more than 1.5 kg = 14

total biscuit packet = 14

probability = 14/14 = 1

2. less than 2 kg = 4

total bicsuit packets = 14

probability = 4/14 = 2/17
