Individuals age 75 and over averaged .15 hour (9 minutes) per day using a computer for leisure. Individuals ages 15 to 19 spend 1.0 hour per day using a computer for leisure. If these times follow an exponential distribution, find the proportion of each group that spends:

Proportion _____ and _____

More than two hours. (Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)

Proportion ____ and ____

Between 16 minutes and 48 minutes using a computer for leisure
Proportio ____ and ____

Find the 30th percentile. Seventy percent spend more than what amount of time? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
