. An organisation selected 2400 families at random and surveyed them to determine a relationship
between income level and the number of vehicles in a family. The information gathered is listed
in the table below:
Suppose a family is chosen. Find the probability that the family chosen is
(i) earning ₹10000 – 13000 per month and owning exactly 2 vehicles.
(ii) earning ₹16000 or more per month and owning exactly 1 vehicle.
(iii) earning less than ₹7000 per month and does not own any vehicle.
(iv) earning ₹13000 – 16000 per month and owning more than 2 vehicles.
(v) owning not more than 1 vehicle.
Total number of families = 2400
(i) Numbers of families earning ₹10000 –13000 per month and owning exactly 2 vehicles = 29
∴, the probability that the family has chosen is earning ₹10000 – 13000 per month and owning
exactly 2 vehicle =\frac{29}{2400}
(ii) Number of families earning ₹16000 or more per month and owning exactly 1 vehicle = 579
∴, the probability that the family chosen is earning ₹16000 or more per month and owning
exactly 1 vehicle = =\frac{579}{2400}
(iii) Number of families earning less than ₹7000 per month and does not own any vehicle = 10
∴, the probability that the family chosen is earning less than ₹7000 per month and does not
own any vehicle =\frac{10}{2400}=\frac{1}{240}
(iv) Number of families earning ₹13000-16000 per month and owning more than 2 vehicles = 25
∴, the probability that the family chosen is earning ₹13000 – 16000 per month and owning
more than 2 vehicles = =\frac{25}{2400}=\frac{1}{96}
(v) Number of families owning not more than 1 vehicle = 10+160+0+305+1+535+2+469+1+579
= 2062
∴, the probability that the family chose owns not more than 1 vehicle =\frac{2062}{2400}=\frac{1031}{1200}
