Question
What was the age distribution of nurses in Great Britain at the time of Florence Nightingale? Suppose we have the following information. Note: In 1851 there were 25,466 nurses in Great Britain.
Age range (yr) | 20-29 | 30-39 | 40-49 | 50-59 | 60-69 | 70-79 | 80+ |
Midpoint x | 24.5 | 34.5 | 44.5 | 54.5 | 64.5 | 74.5 | 84.5 |
Percent of nurses | 5.2% | 9.8% | 19.2% | 29.3% | 25.1% | 9.8% | 1.6% |
(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 do not sum to 1.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.
