I need tutoring help with 9 statistics questions. I have
already completed them myself but I need to make sure that they are
100% prior to submitting them. Let me know if you can help, Thanks.

6. History: Florence Nightingale
What was the age distribution of nurses in Great Britain at
the tine of Florence Nightingale? Thanks to Florence Nightingale
and the British census of 1851, we have the following information
(based on data from classic text Notes on Nursing, by Florence
Nightingale). Note: in 1851 there were 25,466 nurses in Great
Britain. Furthermore, Nightingale made a strict distinction between
nurses and domestic servants.
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
5.7% 9.7% 19.5% 29.2% 25.0% 9.1% 1.8%
a. Using the midpoint x and the percentages of nurses, do we
have a valid probability distribution? Explain.
b. Use a histogram to graph the probability distribution of
part (a).
c. Find the probability that a British nurse selected at
random in 1851 would be 60 years of age or older.
