Question

Laura is a songwriter. The table shows the number of songs she wrote in each of the past 5 months. Use the information in the table to create a probability distribution table.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\begin{array}{ccccc}\text{January}&\text{February}&\text{March}&\text{April}&\text{May}\\\dfrac{3}{20}&\dfrac{5}{20}&\dfrac{2}{20}&\dfrac{8}{20}&\dfrac{2}{20}\end{array}$

Step-by-step explanation:

During 5 months Laura wrote

3+5+2+8+2=20 songs.

1. The probability that the song was written in January is $\frac{3}{20}.$

2. The probability that the song was written in February is $\frac{5}{20}.$

3. The probability that the song was written in March is $\frac{2}{20}.$

4. The probability that the song was written in April is $\frac{8}{20}.$

5. 1. The probability that the song was written in May is $\frac{2}{20}.$

The probabolity distribution table:

$\begin{array}{ccccc}\text{January}&\text{February}&\text{March}&\text{April}&\text{May}\\\dfrac{3}{20}&\dfrac{5}{20}&\dfrac{2}{20}&\dfrac{8}{20}&\dfrac{2}{20}\end{array}$
