210 students were asked whether they want to go to a water park or a roller skating rink for a class party. 50 students are girls who want to go to the water park. 45 students are girls who want to go skating. 60 students are boys who want to go to the water park. Answer the questions to analyze the data. 1. Use the given information to fill in the two-way table. ‘a Water park Skating Total Boys 60 55 115 Girls 50 45 95 Total 110 100 210 2. How many boys want to go skating? 55 3. To the nearest hundredth, what is the relative frequency of boys who want to go to the water park? 4. The probability that a student is in a category can be approximated by the relative frequency. To the nearest hundredth, what is the probability that a randomly selected student is a girl who wants to go skating? Show how you know. 5. Are there more boy students or girl students? Do you read this information from the joint frequencies or the marginal frequencies? Explain how you know. 6. Which destination is more popular, the skating rink or the water park? Explain how you know.

1. Using the given information, the two-way table can be filled as follows:

Water park Skating Total

Boys 60 55 115

Girls 50 45 95

Total 110 100 210

2. The number of boys who want to go skating is 55.

3. To the nearest hundredth, the relative frequency of boys who want to go the water park is 0.52.

4. To the nearest hundredth, the probability that a randomly selected student is a girl who wants to go skating is 0.47.

5. There are more boy students than girl students, based on the marginal relative frequency.

6. Based on the joint relative frequency, water park is more popular than skating rink as destination.

The number of girls who want to the water park = 50

The number of girls who want to go skating = 45

The number of boys who want to the water park = 60

2. Therefore, the number of boys who want to go skating = 55 (210 - 50 - 45 - 60)

1. Two-way Table

Water park Skating Total

Boys 60 55 115

Girls 50 45 95

Total 110 100 210

Water park Skating Total

Boys 60 55 115

Girls 50 45 95

Total 110 100 210

3. The relative frequency of boys who want to go the water park = 60/115 = 0.52

4. Probability of a randomly selected student is a girl who wants to go skating = 45/95 = 0.47

5. Marginal relative frequency of boys = 115/210 = 0.55

Marginal relative frequency of girls = 95/210 = 0.45

6. Joint relative frequency of water park = 110/210 = 0.52

Joint relative frequency of skating = 100/210 = 0.48
