Practice Problem
The Colonel wants to know how likely it is that one of his chickens is eating less than its fair share of feed. To investigate, he tracked daily feed consumption for 23 chickens.
Figure 2. Colonel observing feed consumption among multiple chickens. The illustration shows the Colonel monitoring how much feed individual chickens consume during a single feeding period. This visual reinforces how repeated observations across many individuals are used to count how many values fall below a specified threshold, which supports estimating probability from frequency.
Of those 23 chickens, 8 chickens ate less than 0.25 lbs of feed per day.
Use this information to estimate the probability that a chicken eats less than 0.25 lbs of feed per day.
Formula
\[\text{Relative Frequency} = \frac{\text{Observations in range}}{\text{Total observations}}\]
