14. A professor records the number of class days (x) each student misses over the course of a semester and uses a frequency distribution to display the data. What is the probability a student missed exactly 1 day

Sagot :

Question is incomplete, however here's an explanation to solve questions such as this

Answer and explanation:

Probability= number of favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes

The frequency distribution recorded by the professor would show number of times(frequency) each student missed a class day.

We are required to fund the probability that a student would miss class

Probability = number of times the student missed class/ total number of classes missed by all students

Example, if student missed class 20 times in a semester and all students in total missed class 200 times

Probability that the student would miss class=20/200= 1/10
