Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

In the high school survey, it said 15 could drive and 15 could not. This means that 1/2 could drive and 1/2 could not.

In the college survey, it said that 30 could drive out of 60. That is still 1/2 of the people asked.

The ratios are the same so therefore Micah's conclusion is wrong
