    I believe this problem has the following table for long distance call:

    0-1 minutes 2-5 minutes 6 + minutes

    Long distance 170 120 10

    To solve this problem, let us first recall what probability means:

    Probability = number of successful event / number of total events

    In this case, an event is considered to be successful when the long distance call is not 6 + minutes long. Therefore:

    number of successful event = 170 + 120 = 290

    Now the number of total events is the sum of all number of calls, hence,

    number of total events = 170 + 120 + 10

    number of total events = 300

    Probability that the call is not 6 + minutes long is therefore:

    Probability = 290 / 300

    Probability = 0.9667

    or

    Probability = 96.67%
