(a) Using the age midpoints x and the percent of nurses, do we have a valid probability distribution? Explain.
No. The events are indistinct and the probabilities sum to 1.
Yes. The events are distinct and the probabilities sum to 1.
Yes. The events are distinct and the probabilities do not sum to 1.
No. The events are indistinct and the probabilities do not sum to 1.
(b) Use a histogram to graph the probability distribution in part (a).
