Question

e. If a month were randomly selected from the onion distribution, what is the probability it would weigh more than 50,000? f. If a month were randomly selected from the onion distribution, what is the probability it would weigh between 25,000 and 35,000? g If a month were randomly selected from the broccoli distribution, what is the probability it would weigh more than 100,000? h. If a month were randomly selected from the broccoli distribution, what is the probability it would weigh between 135,000 and 170,000?

Explanation / Answer

total data is given for 168 months

number of months with onion distribution weighing between 25000-35000 = 73

number of months with onion distribution weighing greater than 50000 = 5

P(onion distribution weighing between 25000-35000) = 73/168 = 0.43452

P(onion distribution weighing greater than 50000) = 5/168 = 0.02976.
