Question

The following data shows the actual weight of 10 boxes of dry fruits
distributed on the occasion of Diwali:
4.798 kg, 4.795 kg, 4.801kg, 4.805 kg, 4.810 kg, 4.825 kg, 4.798 kg,
4.800 kg, 4.805 kg and 4.817 kg. A box is chosen at random.
Find the probability that
(i) its weight is more than 4kg 800g.
(ii) its weight is 4.800kg or less than it.

Answer 1

Answer:

Total no. of boxes = 10

(1):- No. of boxes weighting more than 4Kg 800 gm = 6

Probability = 6/10 = 3/5

(2):- No. of boxes weighting less than or equal to 4.800 Kg = 4

Probability = 4/10 = 2/5
