ANSWERS
What is the frequency you would expect?
ANSWER: I EXPECT ANY PLANET TO STAY WITHIN 15 DEGREES 33.33% OF THE
TIME(BY MATH CALCULATION).
For any randomly chosen place what proportion of the time is Uranus
not within 15 degrees of the meridian and/or horizon? ANSWER: MOST
OF THE TIME
Uranus (like all planets) stays relatively close to the ecliptic,
so its not as though it wanders aimlessly over the sky. ANSWER:
YES
Have you done a similar study for other planets?
ANSWER: YES, SOME PLANETS, LIKE PLUTO, STAY MORE 33.33% WITHIN THAT
RANGE, BUT NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE FREQUENCY OF THAT OF URANUS'

As Odysseus points out the 15 deg merdian proximity is fairly constant at 1
hour either side of upper and lower meridian. In terms or right ascension
the planet will also spend about an hour either above or below the east and
west horizons. So the frequency is close to 33.33% This works fine for
eqautorial and temperate latitudes but beaks down on approaching the polar
regions.
