Answer» (i) Total number of engineers = 40 Number of engineers living less than 7 km from their place of work = 9 Hence, required probability that an engineer lives less than 7 km from her place of work, P = 9/40 (ii) Number of engineers living more than or equal to 7 km from their place of work = 40 − 9 = 31 Hence, required probability that an engineer lives more than or equal to 7 km from her place of work, P = 31/40 (iii) Number of engineers living within 1/2 km from her place of work = 0 Hence, required probability that an engineer lives within 1/2 km from her place of work, P = 0 |
