Probability is given by the formula:
Probability=(number of favorable outcomes)/(Total number of possible outcomes)
thus;
Given that the frequency table was made using a bag containing slips of paper that are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
then:
1] Probability of obtaining 1
Number of favorable outcome=4
Total number of outcomes=(4+12+20+32+12)=80
P(1)=4/80=0.05

2]Probability of obtaining a 2
Number of favorable outcomes=12
thus
P(2)=12/80=0.15

3] Probability of obtaining a 3
Number of favorable outcomes=20
thus
P(3)=20/80=0.25

4] Probability of obtaining a 4
Number of favorable outcomes=32
thus
P(4)=32/40=0.8

5] Probability of obtaining a 5
Number of favorable outcomes=12
thus
P(5)=12/80=0.15
