Question -

Eleven bags of wheat flour, each marked 5 Kg, actually contained the following weights of flour (in kg):
4.97, 5.05, 5.08, 5.03, 5.00, 5.06, 5.08, 4.98, 5.04, 5.07, 5.00

Find the probability that any of these bags chosen at random contains more than 5 kg of flour.



Answer -

The total number of trials is 11.
Remember the empirical or experimental or observed frequency approach to probability.
If n be the total number of trials of an experiment and A is an event associated to it such that A happens in m-trials. Then the empirical probability of happening of event A is denoted byand is given by
 
Let A1 be the event that the actual weight of a chosen bag contain more than 5 Kg of flour.
The number of times A1 happens is 7.
Therefore, we have
