Construct a conditional relative frequency table based on voter preference.

Round to
the nearest whole percent if necessary.

Answer 1

The conditional relative frequency table is:

Santiago Measha Total

Male students 43% 0 100%

Female students 0 57% 100%

Total students 43% 57% 100%

How to construct a conditional relative frequency table?

To construct a conditional relative frequency table based on voter preference, we can use the given information about the male and female students' voting plans.

Here's the table:

Santiago Measha Total

Male students 68 0 68

Female students 0 89 89

Total students 68 89 157

The conditional relative frequency for each candidate is calculated as the ratio of the joint relative frequency to the marginal relative frequency for each gender.

For Santiago: 68/157 = 0.43

For Measha: 89/157 = 0.57

So, the conditional relative frequency table is:

Santiago Measha Total

Male students 43% 0 100%

Female students 0 57% 100%

Total students 43% 57% 100%
