Answer 2

`\%H = 8\%`

Explanation:

Given

See attachment for table

Required

The percentage of historical

From the table, we have:

`Historical = 2`

and

`Total = 6+3+7+2+7`

`Total = 25`

So, the percentage of historical is:

`\%H = (Historical)/(Total) * 100\%`

This gives:

`\%H = (2)/(25) * 100\%`

`\%H = (200\%)/(25)`

`\%H = 8\%`
