conducted a total of 605 concrete strength tests in a
material testing laboratory. An examination of the test data shows that
125 esis: have strength above 40 megapascal (MPa), 350 tests have
strength between 30 and 40MPa, and the rest have strength below
30 MPa, Based on these test dala and the frequency definition of prob-
ability, estimate the probabilities in each of the above strength intervals,
that is, PIS > 40), PI30< $< 40), and PS < 30), where (S < 30)
represents the event that the random concrete strength 5 is less than
JOMPa.
