we know that
Average Rate of Change. is the change in the y-value divided by the change in the x-value for two distinct points on the graph
So
in this problem
substitute the values in the formula above
Divide by both numerator and denominator
therefore
the answer is
Male student: 40/100 = 2/5
graduate: 520/2106 = 65/252
2/5 + 65/252
= 829/1260 ( this is the probability)
5 because it appears most
Mode is most
