Identifying a Probability Distribution
Learning is a lifetime activity. For some, it means learning
from everyday experiences; for others, it means taking classes in a more
traditional atmosphere. The percentage of people participating in organized
learning situations during 2002 for each age group is reported here by NIACE.
