\(w < 66\)\(66 \leqslant w < 70\)\(70 \leqslant w < 80\)\(80 \leqslant w < k\)\(w \geqslant k\)
One kiwi fruit is selected at random from those grown on the farm.
  1. Find the probability that this kiwi fruit is Large. 35\% of the kiwi fruit are Jumbo.
  2. Find the value of \(k\) to one decimal place. 75\% of Tiny kiwi fruit weigh more than \(y\) grams.
  3. Find the value of \(y\) giving your answer to one decimal place.
