Answer 1

The percentage of Bay High School extracurricular participants that compete in athletics is approximately 36.64%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the percentage of Bay High School extracurricular participants who compete in athletics, we first look at the two-way frequency table provided.

The total number of participants in extracurricular activities at Bay High School is given as 434. Out of these, 159 students participate in athletics.

We use the formula for percentage, which is (part/whole) × 100. Therefore:

Percentage of students in athletics = (159 / 434) × 100

Calculating this gives us:

Percentage of students in athletics = 0.3663594470046083 × 100 ≈ 36.64%

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

I can not set up a 2 way table online but what they want is a collom of the information neatly laid out...

With the 9th graders in one collom and the 10th graders in the other

like this

9th grader 10th grader

# of students 32 40

# of participated 32 18

Draw this out with lines and it will be correct.

I hope this helps GOOD LUCK...this is tough math for a middle schooler.
