Complete Question
The percentages of fishermen who caught x fish in a 6-hour period while fishing from shore is
X 0 1 2 3 4 or more
probability 43% (0.43) 36%(0.36) 14%(0.14) 6%(0.06) 1%(0.01)
Find the probability that a fisherman selected at random fishing from shore catches one or more fish in a 6-hour period
Answer:
The probability is [tex]P(X \ge 1 ) = 0.57[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Generally the probability that a fisherman selected at random fishing from shore catches one or more fish in a 6-hour period is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(X \ge 1 ) = P(1 ) + P(2) + P(3) + P(4\ or \ more)[/tex]
=> [tex]P(X \ge 1 ) =0.33 +0.14 + 0.06 + 0.01[/tex]
=> [tex]P(X \ge 1 ) = 0.57[/tex]
