Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Weight/Calories   1000-1500   1500-2000 2000-2500    Total

per Day              

120 lb.                        90            80      10        180

145 lb.                        35            143       25        203

165 lb.                        15            27               75         117

Total                       140            250        110       500

Total no. of person consumes 1,500 to 2,000 calories in a day = 250

Total = 500

Now the probability that a person consumes 1,500 to 2,000 calories in a day :

Hence  the probability that a person consumes 1,500 to 2,000 calories in a day is 0.50.
