(a) what is the probability that the length of stay of exactly 1 person is less than or equal to 4 hours

Probability = 0.502

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data :

 Hours         Count            Percent

  1                    18               3.44

  2                    55              10.50

  3                    81               15.46

  4                    109             20.80

  5                     88              16.79

  6                     66              12.60

  7                     39               7.44

  8                     17                3.24

  9                     17                3.24

  10                   19                3.63

   15                  15                2.86

We need to calculate the probability

P(Length of stay of exactly 1 is less than or equal to 4)

P() = P(Y = 1) + P(Y = 2) + P(Y = 3) + P(Y = 4)

We convert the percent into probabilities by dividing them with 100. This gave us the required probabilities.
