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 (1012)?" How would you respond?
The 13-and-older category may include children up to 17 or 18 years old. This is a larger category.
