An organisation selected $2400$ families at random and surveyed them to determine a relationship between income level and the number of vehicles in a family. The information gathered is listed in the table below:
Monthly income (in Rs.) / Vehicles per family $0$ $1$ $2$ Above $2$
Less than $7000$ $10$ $160$ $25$ $0$
$7000 - 10000$ $0$ $305$ $27$ $2$
$10000 - 13000$ $1$ $535$ $29$ $1$
$13000 - 16000$ $2$ $469$ $59$ $25$
$16000$ or more $1$ $579$ $82$ $88$

Suppose a family is chosen. Find the probability that the family chosen is:
$(i)$ Earning Rs. $10000 - 13000$ per month and owning exactly $2$ vehicles.
$(ii)$ Earning Rs. $16000$ or more per month and owning exactly $1$ vehicle.
$(iii)$ Earning less than Rs. $7000$ per month and does not own any vehicle.
$(iv)$ Earning Rs. $13000 - 16000$ per month and owning more than $2$ vehicles.
$(v)$ Owning not more than $1$ vehicle.

(N/A) Total number of families surveyed $= 2400$.
$(i)$ Number of families earning Rs. $10000 - 13000$ per month and owning exactly $2$ vehicles $= 29$.
Probability $= \frac{29}{2400}$.
$(ii)$ Number of families earning Rs. $16000$ or more per month and owning exactly $1$ vehicle $= 579$.
Probability $= \frac{579}{2400}$.
$(iii)$ Number of families earning less than Rs. $7000$ per month and owning no vehicle $= 10$.
Probability $= \frac{10}{2400} = \frac{1}{240}$.
$(iv)$ Number of families earning Rs. $13000 - 16000$ per month and owning more than $2$ vehicles $= 25$.
Probability $= \frac{25}{2400} = \frac{1}{96}$.
$(v)$ Number of families owning not more than $1$ vehicle (i.e.,$0$ or $1$ vehicle) $= (10 + 160) + (0 + 305) + (1 + 535) + (2 + 469) + (1 + 579) = 170 + 305 + 536 + 471 + 580 = 2062$.
Probability $= \frac{2062}{2400} = \frac{1031}{1200}$.

Fifty seeds were selected at random from each of $5$ bags of seeds,and were kept under standardised conditions favourable to germination. After $20$ days,the number of seeds which had germinated in each collection were counted and recorded as follows:
Bag $1$ $2$ $3$ $4$ $5$
Number of seeds germinated $40$ $48$ $42$ $39$ $41$

What is the probability of germination of
$(i)$ more than $40$ seeds in a bag?
$(ii)$ $49$ seeds in a bag?
$(iii)$ more than $35$ seeds in a bag?

$A$ tyre manufacturing company kept a record of the distance covered before a tyre needed to be replaced. The table shows the results of $1000$ cases.
Distance (in $km$)less than $4000$$4000$ to $9000$$9001$ to $14000$more than $14000$
Frequency$20$$210$$325$$445$

If you buy a tyre of this company,what is the probability that:
$(i)$ it will need to be replaced before it has covered $4000 \, km$?
$(ii)$ it will last more than $9000 \, km$?
$(iii)$ it will need to be replaced after it has covered somewhere between $4000 \, km$ and $14000 \, km$?

On one page of a telephone directory,there were $200$ telephone numbers. The frequency distribution of their unit place digit (for example,in the number $25828573$,the unit place digit is $3$) is given in the table below:
Digit $0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9$
Frequency $22, 26, 22, 22, 20, 10, 14, 28, 16, 20$

Without looking at the page,a number is chosen at random. What is the probability that the digit in its unit place is $6$?
