(c) between 6 and 12 years old  ________%

(d) between 3 and 9 years old _____________ %

A child between 10 and 12 years old looks at this probability distribution and asks, "Why are people more likely to buy toys for kids older than I am (13 and over) than for kids in my age group (10-12)?" How would you respond?
