The table shows the distribution of the distance (in km) covered by 40 hunters while hunting.

Distance(km) 3 4 5 6 7 8
Frequency 5 4 x 9 2x 1

If a hunter is selected at random, find the probability that the hunter covered at least 6km.

A.

\(\frac{3}{5}\)

B.

\(\frac{2}{5}\)

C.

\(\frac{3}{8}\)

D.

\(\frac{9}{40}\)

Correct answer is A

5+4+x+9+2x+1 = 40
19+3x = 40
3x = 21
x = 7

Distance(km) 3 4 5 6 7 8
Frequency 5 4 7 9 14 1

The probability that the hunter covered at least 6km, means the hunter covered either 6km or 7km, or 8km.

24 hunters covered at least 6km
