Work Step by Step

The number of total schools is 83057 a. 50 or fewer computers There are 24501 schools with 50 or fewer computers, so the probability is $p=\frac{24501}{83057}=0.295$ b. More than 100 computers There are 34803 schools with more than 100 computers, so the probability is $p=\frac{34803}{83057}=0.419$ c. No more than 20 computers There are 7760 schools with no more than 20 computers, so the probability is $p=\frac{7760}{83057}=0.093$
