The table below shows the masses of some pears in a crate. If one of the pears is chosen at random from the crate, what is the probability that it has a mass of more than 120 g? Give your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.

If one of the pears is chosen at random from the crate, the probability that it has a mass of more than 120 g is 13/20.

In Mathematics and Statistics, a frequency table can be used for the graphical representation of the frequencies or relative frequencies that are associated with a categorical variable or data set.

Based on the frequency distribution table shown above, the probability that one of the pears chosen at random from the crate has a mass of more than 120 grams can be calculated as follows;

Total number of pears = 5 + 9 + 13 + 7 + 6

Total number of pears = 40

P(m > 120) = (13 + 7 + 6)/40

P(m > 120) = 26/40

P(m > 120) = 13/20
