Eleven bags of wheat flour, each marked 5kg, actually contained the following weights of flour (in Kg)

Question:

Eleven bags of wheat flour, each marked 5kg, actually contained the following weights of flour (in Kg)

 Find the probability that any of these bags chosen at random contains more than 5 kg of flour.

Solution:

 Number of bags weighing more than 5 kgs = 7

Total no of bags = 11

Probability of having more than 10 kgs of rice

$=\frac{\text { No of bags weighing more than } 5 \mathrm{~kg}}{\text { Total no of bags }}$

= 7/11 = 0.63
