Question 1 Report



The table shows the distribution of goals scored by 25 teams in a football competition. Calculate the probability that a team selected at randon scored either 4 or 7 goals.

Answer Details
To calculate the probability that a team selected at random scored either 4 or 7 goals, we need to add the frequency of teams that scored 4 goals to the frequency of teams that scored 7 goals and divide by the total number of teams (25). From the table, we can see that 6 teams scored 4 goals and 3 teams scored 7 goals. Therefore, the total number of teams that scored either 4 or 7 goals is: 6 + 3 = 9 The total number of teams in the competition is 25. Therefore, the probability that a team selected at random scored either 4 or 7 goals is: 9/25 This can be simplified as follows: 9/25 = 0.36 Therefore, the probability that a team selected at random scored either 4 or 7 goals is 0.36 or 36%. Hence, the correct option is: - \(\frac{9}{25}\)
