(a)
\Sample of American people of ages
to
are selected.
Observe the bar graph:
\Average number of days per week that Americans of to
is
days.
Therefore, .
Standard deviation is day.
Find the probability that American people of ages to
spent more than
days a week
exercising for a randomly sample of people.
Here .
