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:
- \(\frac{9}{25}\)
