11. 10 bags of wheat flour each marked 10 kg, actually contained the following weights of flour (in kg): 10.1, 10.2, 9.9, 9.8, 10, 10.3, 9.8, 9.5, 10, 10.4. Find the probability that any of these bags chosen at random contains:
(i) Less than 10 kg of flour
(ii) Exactly 10 kg of flour

Dear Student,

We have,Total no. of flour bags= 10Bags contains less than 10 kg of flour= 9.9kg , 9.8kg, 9.8 kg and 9.5 kg, which is 4.Now, the probability chosen bag containing less than 10 kg flour:410=25Now, the no. of bags containing exactly 10 kg of flour= 2So, the probability of chosen bag having exactly 10 kg of flour:210=15

Regards.
