Expert Solution

(A) 0.02+ 0.04 +0.05+ 0.07+ 0.04 +0.02 +0.07+ 0.02+ 0.11+ 0.07+ 0.09+ 0.13+ 0.15 +0.12 = 1

yes, the relative frequency distribution in the table can be interpreted as a probability distribution because the total sum of all the given probability is equal to 1

(B) Using excel, select the data, click on insert tab, select scatter plot

P(under 30) = P(x=20)+P(x=21)+P(x=22)+P(x=23)+P(x=24)+P(x=25)+P(x=26)+P(x=27)+P(x=28)+P(x=29)

using the probability distribution table

= 0.02+ 0.04 +0.05+ 0.07+ 0.04 +0.02 +0.07+ 0.02+ 0.11+ 0.07

= 0.51

(D) probability that the randomly selected employee is over 40 years old = 0 because probability distribution is limited till 33 years.

(E) probability that the randomly selected employee will be between 25 to 30 years old = P(25<x<30)

= P(26 to 29)

= P(x=26)+P(x=27)+P(x=28)+P(x=29)

using the probability distribution table

= 0.07 +0.02+ 0.11 + 0.07

= 0.27
