Ex15.1, 8 The distance (in km) of 40 engineers from their residence to their place of work were found as follows. What is the empirical probability that an engineer lives: less than 7 km from her place of work? Total number of engineers = 40 Number of engineers living less than 7 km from their place of work = 9 P(engineer lives less than 7 km from her place of work) = (π‘π‘’π‘šπ‘π‘’π‘Ÿ π‘œπ‘“ π‘’π‘›π‘”π‘–π‘›π‘’π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘  𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠 π‘‘β„Žπ‘Žπ‘› 7π‘˜π‘š π‘“π‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘š β„Žπ‘’π‘Ÿ π‘π‘™π‘Žπ‘π‘’ π‘œπ‘“ π‘€π‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘˜)/(π‘‡π‘œπ‘‘π‘Žπ‘™ π‘›π‘’π‘šπ‘π‘’π‘Ÿ π‘œπ‘“ π‘’π‘›π‘”π‘–π‘›π‘’π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘ ) = 9/40 Ex15.1, 8 (Method 1) The distance (in km) of 40 engineers from their residence to their place of work were found as follows.

P(engineer lives more than or equal to 7 km from her place of work) = 1 – P(engineer lives less than 7 km from her place of work) = 1 – 9/40 = (40 βˆ’ 9)/40 = 31/40 Ex15.1, 8 The distance (in km) of 40 engineers from their residence to their place of work were found as follows. What is the empirical probability that an engineer lives: (iii) withinΒ 1/2 km from her place of work?
