14 Manuel collected information about the flights that arrived late at an airport last month.

The table gives information about the number of minutes that these flights were late.

Minutes late (L minutes)Frequency
\(0 \lt L \leqslant 10\)8
\(10 \lt L \leqslant 15\)13
\(15 \lt L \leqslant 25\)19
\(25 \lt L \leqslant 40\)24
\(40 \lt L \leqslant 60\)6
(a) On the grid, draw a histogram for this information.
Grid with Number of minutes late from 0 to 60 on the horizontal axis and Frequency density from 0 to 3 on the vertical axis
(3)

Manuel selected at random a flight that was late by 25 minutes or less from his results.

(b) Work out an estimate for the probability that this flight was late by 5 minutes or less. (2)
