Question

Given below is the frequency distribution table regarding the concentration of sulphur dioxide in the air in parts per million of a certain city for 30 days.

Conc. of SO₂ 0.00-0.04 0.04-0.08 0.08-0.12 0.12-0.16 0.16-0.20 0.20-0.24

No. days: 4 8 9 2 4 3

Find the probability of concentration of sulphur dioxide in the interval
0.12-0.16 on any of these days.

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

Let A₁ be the event that the concentration of sulphur dioxide in a day is 0.12-0.16 parts per million.

The number of times A₁ happens is 2.

Therefore, we have
