Answer 1

The proportion of seniors planning to attend college is 0.700 and the odds in favor of juniors planning to attend college are 7.000 to 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) To find the proportion of seniors who plan to attend college, we need to divide the number of seniors planning to attend college by the total number of seniors:

Proportion = Number of seniors planning to attend college / Total number of seniors

Proportion = 140 / 200 = 0.700

(b) To find the odds in favor of juniors planning to attend college, we need to divide the proportion of juniors planning to attend college by the proportion of juniors not planning to attend college:

Odds = Proportion of juniors planning to attend college / Proportion of juniors not planning to attend college

Odds = 0.875 / (1 - 0.875) = 7.000
