Sagot :

Answer:

a) 0.1 = 10% probability of a tip of $200 or more.

b) 0.4 = 40% probability of a tip of up to $50.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Distribution:

Total of 500 checks.

200 with tips in the interval of 0-20.

100 with tips in the interval of 20-50.

75 with tips in the interval of 50-100.

75 with tips in the interval of 100-200.

50 with tips of 200 or more.

a) What is the probability of a tip of $200 or more?

50 out of 500. So

[tex]p = \frac{50}{500} = 0.1[/tex]

0.1 = 10% probability of a tip of $200 or more.

b) What is the probability of a tip of up to $50?

200 out of 500. So

[tex]p = \frac{200}{500} = 0.4[/tex]

0.4 = 40% probability of a tip of up to $50.
