The following frequency distribution shows the ages of India’s 63 richest individuals. One of these individuals is selected at random. Ages Frequency 30 up to 40 14 40 up to 50 3 50 up to 60 10 60 up to 70 20 70 up to 80 16 a. What is the probability that the individual is between 70 and 80 years of age

Respuesta :

Answer:

The probability that the individual is between 70 and 80 years of age is [tex]\frac{16}{63}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Given frequency table:

   Ages         Frequency

30 up to 40         14

40 up to 50         3

50 up to 60         10

60 up to 70         20

70 up to 80         16

Total                    63

We need to find the probability that the individual is between 70 and 80 years of age.

[tex]P=\frac{\text{Total number of individuals between 70 and 80 years of age}}{\text{Total number of individuals}}[/tex]

Total number of individuals between 70 and 80 years of age = 16

Total number of individuals = 63

[tex]P=\frac{16}{63}[/tex]

Therefore the probability that the individual is between 70 and 80 years of age is [tex]\frac{16}{63}[/tex].
