Question

Given below is the frequency distribution of wages (in Rs) of 30 workers in a certain factory:

Wages (in Rs) 110-130 130-150 150-170 170-190 190-210 210-230 230-250

No. of workers 3 4 5 6 5 4 3

A worker is selected at random. Find the probability that his wages are:
(i) less than Rs 150
(ii) at least Rs 210
(iii) more than or equal to 150 but less than Rs 210.

Solution

The total number of trials is 30.

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

(i) Let A₁ be the event that the wages of a worker is less than Rs 150.

The number of times A₁ happens is.

Therefore, we have.

(ii) Let A₂ be the event that the wages of a worker is atleast Rs 210.

The number of times A₂ happens is.

Therefore, we have.

(iii) Let A₃ be the event that the wages of a worker is more than or equal to Rs 150 but less than Rs 210.

The number of times A₃ happens is.

Therefore, we have
