Estimate probabilities from grouped continuous frequency data

Question 1 of 8

No calculator

The table is a grouped record of occupancy times recorded for a group of spaces

Let X denote the quantity in the table, measured in hours

Grouped frequency table
Class interval (hours)Frequency
\(0\le x < \frac{3}{2}\)31
\(\frac{3}{2}\le x < 3\)24
\(3\le x < \frac{9}{2}\)17
\(\frac{9}{2}\le x < 6\)10

Use the grouped table as an approximate probability model. The table assigns frequencies to whole class intervals. At a class boundary, changing strict to non-strict endpoint notation does not change the class count

The event to use is \(0 \le X \le \frac{3}{2}\)

(a)1 mark

Which class intervals make up the stated event?

(b)1 mark

Give the probability represented by the stated classes. Calculate \(\Pr(0 \le X \le \frac{3}{2})\) as a reduced fraction
