Question

Answer 1

The probability is 0.107 or 10.7%

Explanation:

The probability is calculated with the number of people who are in that age range and meet the study conditions and the total number of people.

We can determine both data in the table, therefore

`p=(1707)/(15921)=0.107\cong10.72\text{\%}`
