Answer

Options B and C are great examples of conditional relative frequency.

Step-by-step explanation

To select the statements that are correct and could be examples of conditional relative frequency, we need to check each of the statements, one at a time.

Option A

Out of all the respondents, 2% of them were males in the chess club.

Total number of respondents = 100

Number of males in the chess club = 2

Percentage of respondents that are male and in the chess club = (2/100) = 2%

Hence, this statement is correct, but, it doesn't express a subgroup as a percentage of another subgroup. So, it's not a perfect example of conditional relative frequency.

Option B

Out of the male respondents, 50% played intramural basketball.

Number of male respondents = 40

Number of males in the intramural basketball = 20

Percentage of male respondents that played intramural basketball = (20/40) = 50%

This statement too is true and it expresses a subgroup as a percentage of another subgroup. So, it's a perfect example of conditional relative frequency.

Option C

Out of the female respondents, 16.7% were in the chess club.

Number of female respondents = 60

Number of females in the chess club = 10

Percentage = (10/60) = 16.7%

This statement too is true and it expresses a subgroup as a percentage of another subgroup. So, it's a perfect example of conditional relative frequency.

Option D

Out of all the respondents, 30% did not participate in afterschool clubs.

Total number of correspondents = 100

Number of people that did not participate in any afterschool clubs = 30

Percentage = (30/100) = 30%

This statement is correct, but, it doesn't express a subgroup as a percentage of another subgroup. So, it's not a perfect example of conditional relative frequency.
