Percent of Nurses 5.7 9.7 19.5 29.2 25.0 9.1 1.8

1) Find the probability that a British nurse selected at random in 1851 would be 60 years or older. (My guess is The sum of the percent of nurses 60 years are older are added equaling 36% or 1967.76/25466) am I even close?

2) Compute he expected age µ of a British nurse contemporary.
