Question

Researchers watched dolphin groups off the coast of Ireland in 1998 to determine what activities the dolphin groups partake in at certain times of the day. The numbers in table below represent the number of dolphin groups that were partaking in an activity at certain times of days.

Activity Morning Noon Afternoon Evening Total
Travel 6 6 14 13 39
Feed 28 4 0 56 88
Social 38 5 9 10 62
Total 72 15 23 79 189

Answer 1

The table of the number of dolphins is used to illustrate probability

The probability that a dolphin group is partaking in travel is 0.2063

How to determine the probability

From the table, we have:

• The total number of dolphin group = 189
• The total number of dolphin group that partake in travel = 39

So, the probability that a dolphin group is partaking in travel is calculated as:

p = 39/189

Divide

p = 0.2063

Hence, the probability that a dolphin group is partaking in travel is 0.2063
