Answer

The probability is 0.1.

Work Step by Step

The required probability is calculated as follows: \[\begin{align} & P\left( \text{More than 4 freights} \right)=p\left( 4 \right)+p\left( 5 \right)+p\left( 6 \right) \\ & =0.050+0.025+0.025 \\ & =0.1 \end{align}\] The probability value is 10% only; hence, it seems that a majority of the families belong to a population similar to that of the Germans on board the St. Andrew.
