Question

Janet and Patrick surveyed a total of 219 people. Out of the 137 girls who were surveyed, 28 said summer was their favorite season and 12 said that winter was their favorite.
The results showed 22 boys said that spring was their favorite season and 8 boys said winter was their favorite.

A total of 45 people said that summer was their favorite season and a total of 74 people said that fall was their favorite season.

In this activity, you will construct two-way frequency tables to help Janet and Patrick analyze the data they gathered from their survey.

Part A
Create a two-way frequency table to represent the results of the survey by entering the appropriate data in each box.

Answer 1

Answer: See figure 2 in the diagram below for the table.

==========================================================

Explanation:

The steps are fairly lengthy to explain in words, but the process is fairly straightforward. Start with figure 1 in the diagram below. The letters A through O represent the steps you'll take to replace them. For instance, you'll replace A with 219 since that's the grand total. Then B is replaced with 137 since we're told that 137 girls were surveyed. Then C gets replaced with 219-137 = 82, and so on. Use arithmetic (adding and subtracting) to gradually replace each letter with the proper number as figure 2 shows. The alphabetical order directly corresponds to the order in which the values are given by your teacher (eg: 219 is first, then 137 next, and so on).
