Question

Problem #2:

You conduct a survey that asks 250 students in your class whether they are planning to go on a trip this summer. One hundred thirty-five males respond, 93 of which are planning to go on a trip this summer. Twenty-two females are not planning on taking a trip this summer.

a) Organize the results in a two-way table and interpret the marginal frequencies.

b) What percent of females are planning to go on a trip this summer? Explain.

Answer 1

Hi Favour,

a) A two-way table is a table that has two rows and two columns. In the problem we have gender as a variable and planning to go on a trip (or not) as another variable. See below:

Girl Boy

Going on trip 93 93 (given)

Not going on trip 22 (given) 42

b) Percent of females going on trip = (# girls going on trip)/(# girls surveyed)*100 = 93/115*100 = 80.8%
