Answer 1

The correct inference from the data is that American Indian children had the lowest proportion in single-parent families in Florida in 2008.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the data provided for children from single-parent families (SPFs) in Florida (FL) for the year 2008, we can make certain inferences. For instance, the proportion of Black/African American children from SPFs was the highest at 61%, followed by the Hispanic/Latino group at 37%, non-Hispanic White children at 28%, and American Indian & Asian/Pacific Islanders at 17%. Therefore, statement 2) The proportion of Am. Indian children from SPFs is the lowest is the correct inference that can be determined from the given data.
