      It doesn’t look like there’s enough context to 100% say for sure.

      Average collection period formula is for the entire year:

      average collection period=receivables still duetotal credit sales for the year×365

      So extrapolating that formula for intervals as per the example you get, e.g. for <31 days:

      average collection period (<31)=receivables still due for <31 daystotal credit sales within last 31 days×31

      Unless that info is given (credit sales for the various intervals) I’d say that’s just a given value for the purposes of that specific example. Unless maybe there’s more info before the bit you included here.
