Question

if one of these eggs is selected at random, what is the probability of selecting an egg with a length, to the nearest mm, of 39? a (\frac{7}{23}) b (\frac{23}{33}) c (\frac{16}{23}) d (\frac{23}{33})

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of eggs

Total frequency \(=1 + 3+4 + 5+7 + 3\)
\(=23\)

Step2: Find frequency of eggs with length \(39\) mm

From the table, frequency of eggs with length \(39\) mm is \(7\)

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability \(P=\frac{\text{Frequency of 39 mm eggs}}{\text{Total number of eggs}}\)
\(P = \frac{7}{23}\)

Answer:

A. \(\frac{7}{23}\)
