Step 1
The probability that itis from the 40s is,
P(40s)=Favourable outcomesTotal outcomes
=970
Thus, the probability that it is from the 40s is 970
P(50s)=Favourable outcomesTotal outcomes
=970
=235
The probability that it is from the 50s is 235,
Thus, the probability that it is from the 50s is 2.
The probability that it is from the 60s is,
Favourable outcomes
P(60s)=Favourable outcomesTotal outcomes
=970
Thus, the probability that it is from the 60s is 970
Step 2
The probability that itis from the 70s is,
P(70s)=Favourable outcomesTotal outcomes
=770
=110
Thus, the probability that it is from the 70s is 110
The probability that it is from the 80s is,
(80s)=Favourable outcomesTotal outcomes
=1470
=15
Thus, the probability that it is from the 80s is 15.
