A jar of pickle is picked at random using a filling process in which an automatic machine is filling pickle jars with 2.5 kg of pickle in each jar. Due to few faults in the automatic process, the weight of a jar could vary from jar to jar in the range 1.7 kg to 2.9 kg excluding the latter. Let X denote the weight of a jar of pickle selected. Find the range of X.(a) 3.7 ≤ X < 3.9(b) 1.6 ≤ X < 3.2(c) 1.7 ≤ X < 2.9(d) 1 ≤ X < 5This question was posed to me in a job interview.My question comes from Discrete Probability in chapter Discrete Probability of Discrete Mathematics

Answer»

The correct answer is (C) 1.7 ≤ X < 2.9

For EXPLANATION: Possible outcomes should be 1.7 ≤ X < 2.9. That is the PROBABLE RANGE of X for the answer.
