The table above shows the distribution of marks in a test. Find the probability of passing the test if the pass mark is 5

Jamb Maths Solution: 

Probability =$\frac{no\text{ }of\text{ }expected\text{ }outcome}{no\text{ }of\text{ }total\text{ }possible\text{ }outcome}$

Total possible outcome =3+4+1+0+4+5+2+1=20

No of those whose scored 5 and above = 0+4+5+2+1 =12

Prob. Of passing $\frac{12}{20}=\frac{3}{5}$
