Answer 1

c

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Option C. Married and grade 2 (92.6%) is higher than Single and grade 2 (5.2%)

Solution:

Conditional relative frequency single employees in grade 2:

[(Single employees in job grade 2)/(Total employees in job grade 2)]*100%=

(222/4,239)*100%=0.052370842*100%=5.2370842% approximately 5.2%

Conditional relative frequency married employees in grade 2:

[(Married employees in job grade 2)/(Total employees in job grade 2)]*100%=

(3,927/4,239)*100%=0.926397735*100%=92.6397735% approximately 92.6%

92.6%>5.2%:

Married and grade 2 (92.6%) is higher than Single and grade 2 (5.2%)
