Question

Students in 10th and 11th grade were asked whether they have a job. The raw data was converted to relative frequencies and recorded in the table below.

Given the conditional relative frequency table by column, what does the 0.14 represent?
Given that a student is a 10th grader, there is a 14% chance he or she has a job.
Given that a student has a job, there is a 14% chance he or she is a 10th grader.
14% of the students surveyed are 10th graders who have a job.
14% of the students are 10th graders.

Answer 1

the answer is a. given that a student is a 10th grader, there is a 14% chance he or she has a job

Answer 2

a)- Given that a student is a 10th grader, there is a 14% chance he or she has a job.

Explanation:

Option (a) is correct here because Relative frequency means the probability of occurrence or number of time-specific event occurs to the total event.

Option (b) is not correct because We already know that student is in 10th or 11th grade, after that we get to know about 14% chance.

Option (c) & (d) are clearly not possible.
