A die is thrown. Let A be the event that the number obtained is greater than 3. Let B be the event that the number obtained is less than 5. Then $\displaystyle P(A \cup B)$ is
Twenty bags or sugar, each marked 10 kg actually give the following data:
The weight of a bag (in kg) | No. of bags |
---|---|
$9.5-9.8$ | 1 |
$9.8-9.9$ | 2 |
$9.9-10.0$ | 5 |
$10.0-10.1$ | 12 |
The lower limits of the classes are inclusive and the upper limits are exclusive.
What is the probability that the bag selected at random (without any reference) weighs 10 kg or more?
