A tyre manufacturing company kept a record of the distance covered before a tyre needed to be replaced . The table shows the results of 1000 cases :
`{:("Distance (in km)","less than 4000","4000 to 9000","9001 to 14000","more than 14000"),("Frequency",20,210,325,445):}`
If you buy a tyre of this company , what is the probability that :
it will last more than 9000 km ?

The correct Answer is:
To find the probability that a tyre will last more than 9000 km, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the total number of cases The total number of cases given in the problem is 1000. ### Step 2: Determine the frequency of tyres lasting more than 9000 km From the table, the distances and their corresponding frequencies are: - Less than 4000 km: 20 - 4000 to 9000 km: 210 - 9001 to 14000 km: 325 - More than 14000 km: 445 To find the total number of tyres that last more than 9000 km, we need to add the frequencies of the last two categories: - Frequency of tyres lasting 9001 to 14000 km: 325 - Frequency of tyres lasting more than 14000 km: 445 Calculating this gives: \[ 325 + 445 = 770 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the probability The probability \( P \) that a tyre lasts more than 9000 km is given by the formula: \[ P(\text{more than 9000 km}) = \frac{\text{Number of favourable cases}}{\text{Total number of cases}} \] Substituting the values we found: \[ P(\text{more than 9000 km}) = \frac{770}{1000} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the probability Now, we can simplify this fraction: \[ P(\text{more than 9000 km}) = 0.77 \] ### Final Answer The probability that a tyre will last more than 9000 km is \( 0.77 \). ---
