From the table,

The total number of students = 32

The number of 11-year-old students who prefer ice skating = 9

The probability is,


\begin{gathered} =(9)/(13) \\ =0\cdot6923 \end{gathered}

The number of 12-year-old students who prefer ice skating = 9

The probability is,


\begin{gathered} =(9)/(19) \\ =0\cdot4736 \end{gathered}

The number of 11-year-old students who prefer Roller skating = 4

The probability is,


\begin{gathered} =(4)/(13) \\ =0\cdot3076 \end{gathered}

The number of 12-year-old students who prefer Roller skating = 10

The probability is,


\begin{gathered} =(10)/(19) \\ =0\cdot5263 \end{gathered}

From this probabilities

we get,

The 11 and 12-year-old students more likely to prefer ice skating
