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 moer than 5 kg of flour

Answer 1

Total no. of bags examined = 11 

P (a bag weighing more than 5 kg) = No. of bags which weigh more than 5 kg/ Total no. of bags = 7/ 11
