80 bulbs are selected at random from a lot and their lifetime is recorded in the from of a frequency table given below:
Lifetimes(in hours) | 300 | 500 | 700 | 900 | 1100 |
Frequency | 10 | 15 | 23 | 25 | 7 |
A bulb is chosen at random from the lot. What is the probability that the bulb chosen has lifetime less than 900 hours?
Total number bulbs= 80
Number of bulbs, which have lifetime of 300 hrs = 10
Number of bulbs, which have lifetime of 500 hrs = 15
Number of bulbs, which have lifetime of 700 hrs = 23
Number of bulbs, which have lifetime of 900 hrs = 25
Number of bulbs, which have lifetime of 1100 hrs = 7
Number of bulbs , having lifetime less than 900 hrs = 10 + 15 +23 = 48
Probability P() =
Probability of selecting a bulb which have a lifetime of 900 hrs
P(900) = =
=
