c) we want to calculate the percentage of students with no chores but has curfews

From the table, the total number of students without chores are (33+27) = 60

Out of this 60, 33 has curfews

Thus, the percentage will be;


(33)/(60)\text{ }*\text{ 100 \% = 55\%}

d) Here, we want to check if there is an evidence

We proceed as follows;

As we can see, the number of students who do not have chores but with curfew are 33 in number

While those with chores but with curfew are lesser in number

Yes, because the percentage found in part c is greater than B
