Students who do not take AP classes are less likely to be members of a school club than those who take AP classes (option B)

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Students who are members of a school club who take AP classes are 75 out of 90

So, they are more likely to take AP clases than not to take it.

The option is wrong because it said less likely

B) Students who do not take AP classes and are members of a school club = 15

Students who do not take AP classes and are not members of a school club = 30

Students who take AP classes and are memebers of a club = 75

15 < 75

So students who do not take AP classes are less likely to be members of a school club than to those who take AP classes.

This option is correct as it is less likely

C) Students who take AP classes and members of a school club = 75

Students who take AP classes and not members of a school club = 30

75 > 30

So, Students who take AP classes are more likely to be members of a school club than to not be members of a school club.

This option is wrong because it said less likely

D) Students who are not members of a school club and take AP classes = 30

Students who are members of a school club and take AP classes = 75

30 < 75

Students who are not members of a school club are less likely to take AP classes than those who are members of a school club.

This option is wrong because it said more likely
