Answer
View full question & answer→Total number of teachers = 75
- Probability that the selected teachers is 40 or more than 40 years old $=\frac{37+8}{75}=\frac{45}{75}=\frac{3}{5}$
- Probability that the selected teachers is of an age lying between 30 - 39 years (including both) $=\frac{27}{75}=\frac{9}{25}$
- Probability that the selected teachers is 18 years or more and 49 years or less $=\frac{3+27+37}{75}=\frac{67}{75}$
- Probability that the selected teachers is 18 years or more old $=\frac{3+27+37+8}{75}=\frac{75}{75}=1$
- Probability that the selected teachers is above 60 years of age $=\frac{0}{75}=0$
