Question

The data from a survey on the academic degrees earned by students in the United States in 2009 is shown below.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.23

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the table

$\begin{array}{cccc}\text{Degree}&\text{Male}&\text{Female}&\text{Total}\\\text{Associate}&298&489&787\\\text{Bachelor}&685&916&1,601\\\text{Master}&260&397&657\\\text{Professional}&47&45&92\\\text{Doctorate}&32&35&67\\\text{Total}&1,322&1,882&3,204\end{array}$

Form this table

Number of associate male students = 298

Total number of male students = 1,322

Relative frequency of male students earning an associate’s degree among all the males earning any degree $=\dfrac{298}{1,322}\approx 0.23$
