i. either of the two patients survives?
ii. of two patients survive?
iii. at least one of the two patients survive?
(b) Give your answers correct to 2 significant figures.

4. The frequency distribution of the weight of 100 participants in a high jump competition is as
shown below:

Weight (kg)	20-29	30 – 39	40 – 49	SO – 59	60 – 69	70-79
Number of
pa rtici pa nts	10	18	22	25	16	9
