$0 up to $20        200    
20 up to 50        100    
50 up to 100        75    
100 up to 200        75    
200 or more        50    
  
Total 500

c. If the probabilities associated with each outcome were totaled, what would that total be?
  Probability
d. What is the probability of a tip of up to $50? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
  Probability
