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.
\(\frac{3}{5}\)
\(\frac{2}{5}\)
\(\frac{3}{8}\)
\(\frac{9}{40}\)
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
