in a survey, 15 high school students said they could drive and 15 said they could not. Out of 60 college students surveyed, 30 said they could drive.Micah concluded that if someone is in college, that mean the person is more likely to drive. Is Micah's conclusion correct? Explain

No, Micah is not correct. Since there are equal numbers of people in each group who drive and who do not drive, the relative frequency for each is 50%. Because the relative frequencies are the same, there is no association between the variables.

not really, still one in every 2 people will be able to drive in college, the same as in highschool. They are mathematically equally likely! Hope that helps :)
