Explanation:

Step 1: Find what is wrong with question 1

The question is the following → Find the conditional relative frequency that a student surveyed is a boy, given that the student prefers comedy

From the question we can observe that they said given that the student prefers comedy which means that will be total that we will divide from. So we would take boy / comedy which would give us 31 / 53 = 0.5849 or 58.49%

Step 2: Find what is wrong with question 2

The question is the following → The conditional relative frequency of a student being a boy, given that the student likes comedies is _____. The relative frequency of boys in the survey is ____. Because the conditional relative frequency is ____ the relative frequency, ____ to like comedies

From the question we can determine that the first fill in the blank would be similar to the question before but with different numbers. We would take boy / comedy which would give us 28 / 51 = 0.549 or 54.9%.

Not sure if the second number on problem 2 is incorrect, let me know!
