Question 61251: Frequency Distribution:
Votes Number of Precincts
0-99 3
100-199 10
200-299 25
300-399 15
400-499 22
What is the probability that a randomly selected precinct will have had fewer than 100 votes? at least 300 votes? had at most 399 votes? and had no fewer than 100 votes? I tried to use the P=f/t and all my answers were the same. please help...thank you

Votes____________________Number of Precincts______frequency
0-99----------------------3-------------------------3/75=1/25=.04
100-199-------------------10------------------------10/75=2/15=.1333
200-299-------------------25------------------------25/75=1/3=.3333
300-399-------------------15------------------------15/75=1/5=.2
400-499-------------------22------------------------22/75=.29333
:
Fewer than 100 would be (0-99)---3/75=1/25=.04
At least 300 would be (300-499)---15/75+22/75=37/75=.49333
No fewer than 100 votes is (100-499)---10/75+25/75+15/75+22/75=72/75=24/25=.96

Happy Calculating!!!
