I think you need to provide more information. Or you need to make some strong assumptions about how often a "not regular" attends (e.g., 50% of the time??)
Though I'm not 100%, I'm fairly certain you're in my class. This being said, anyone who reads this and intends to help, please understand that this information IS all that we have to work with.
