(5 points) Like football Do not like football Total Like baseball A D G Do not like baseball B E H Total C F I Part B: What percentage of the survey respondents did not like either football or baseball? (3 points) Part C: Do the survey results reveal a greater dislike for football or baseball? Justify your answer. (2 points)

Answer 1

PART A:

Total of students who like football = 77 students
Students who like football and baseball = 48 students
Students who like football and not baseball = 77 - 48 = 29 students

Students who do not like football = 100 - 77 = 23 students

Students who like baseball = 65 students
Students who like baseball but not football = 65 - 48 = 17 students

Students who do not like baseball = 100 - 65 = 35 students

These data can be represented in a two ways table as shown below

PART B:

The number of students who do not like either football or baseball is 29+17+6=52

The probability is 52/100 = 52%

PART C:

The number of students who don't like football is  17+6=23 students
The number of students who don't like baseball is 35 students

The survey result reveals a greater dislike for baseball
