Use the table to answer questions 6-8. SHOW YOUR WORK.
Researchers surveyed 100 students on which superpower they would most like to have.

6) What is the probability that a girl was chosen?

7) What is the probability a person chosen was the name of someone who chose to fly?

8) What is the probability the person chosen was a male who chose “other”?

Answer 1

6) 52%

7) 38%

8) 10%

Explanation:

You want various probabilities based on the survey results shown in the table.

6) Female

The total number of female responses is 12 +32 +8 = 52 out of the 100 surveyed.

The probability a girl was chosen is 52%.

7) Fly

The number of respondents who chose to fly was 26+12 = 38 of the 100 surveyed.

The probability the person chose to fly was 38%.

8) Other

The number of males who chose "Other" was 10 out of the 100 surveyed.

The probability the person was a male who chose Other was 10%.

Additional comment

The questions ask about the probability that such and such was chosen. The table only reflects the probability given that the person chosen was among those surveyed. There is actually no way to answer the question asked based on the table data given.
