QUESTION 11
ABC Store's data of the past 500 days shows
that the online daily sales of a cooking pot of
a special brand was between ten and eighteen
pots. If of the 500 days, there were 100 days
with daily sale of 15 pots, then what is the
probability that the daily sale is 15 pots? (Put
your result in a decimal number. Keep 3
digits after the decimal points.)
