Answer 2

Given : Six bags of cement, each marked 10 kg, actually contained the following weights of cement (in kg): 10.1, 9.95, 10.4, 9.93, 10.8, 10.0

To Find  : the probability that any of these bags chosen at random contains less than 10 kg of cement.

1/2

1/3

2/3

1/6

Solution :

S = {10.1, 9.95, 10.4, 9.93, 10.8, 10.0 }

number of bags = 6

n(S) = 6

E =  Bag contains less than 10 kg of cement.

E = {9.95 , 9.93 }

n(E) = 2

probability that any of these bags chosen at random contains less than 10 kg of cement.  = n(E)/n(S)

= 2/6

= 1/3

1/3 is  the probability that any of these bags chosen at random contains less than 10 kg of cement.
