The Bureau of Labor Statistics' American Time Use Survey showed that the amount of time spent using a computer for leisure varied greatly by age. 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:
Less than 8 minutes per day using a computer for leisure. (Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)
Proportion _____ and _____
More than two hours. (Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)
Proportion ____ and ____
