Question

A recent study gave the information shown in the table about ages of children receiving toys. The percentages represent all toys sold.

Age (years)	Percentage of Toys
2 and under 3-5 6-9 10-12 13 and over	18% 15% 29% 12% 26%

What is the probability that a toy is purchased for someone in the following age ranges?

(a) 6 years old or older
%

(b) 12 years old or younger
%

(c) between 6 and 12 years old
%

(d) between 3 and 9 years old
%

A child between 10 and 12 years old looks at this probability distribution and asks, "Why are people more likely to buy toys for kids older than I am (13 and over) than for kids in my age group (10–12)?" How would you respond?

The 13-and-older category may include children up to 17 or 18 years old. This is a smaller category.The 13-and-older category may include children up to 17 or 18 years old. This is a larger category.
