Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem asks for the probability that a randomly chosen person from those who walked more than 2,500 meters belongs to Group N.
Let's break this down:
-
Total people who walked more than 2,500 meters:
- People who walked between 2,501 and 5,000 meters: 81
- People who walked more than 5,000 meters: 68
- Total:
-
People in Group N who walked more than 2,500 meters:
- People in Group N who walked between 2,501 and 5,000 meters: 35
- People in Group N who walked more than 5,000 meters: 47
- Total in Group N who walked more than 2,500 meters:
-
Probability calculation: The probability of choosing someone from Group N given they walked more than 2,500 meters is:
Thus, the correct answer is:

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:
- How would the probability change if the table had more groups?
- What is the probability of selecting a person from Group M who walked more than 2,500 meters?
- How can we calculate the conditional probability for other ranges (e.g., 0 to 2,500 meters)?
- What are the odds of selecting a person from Group N if everyone is included in the selection?
- How would the probability change if Group N had 10 fewer people?
Tip: Always ensure that the total number in the denominator corresponds to the specific subset you're focusing on.
