Question

Andrew believes the honor roll students at his school have an unfair advantage in being assigned to the math class they request. He asked 500 students at his school the following questions: "Are you on the honor roll?" and "Did you get the math class you requested?" The results are shown in the table below:


Honor roll Not on honor roll Total
Received math class requested 215 125 340
Did not get math class requested 80 80 160
Total 295 205 500


Help Andrew determine if all students at his school have an equal opportunity to get the math class they requested. @ganeshie8

Answer 1

I did the problem and solved and got that 72.8 or 73% and 10 who recieved the math class and is on the honor roll and the 10% is for the students who are not on the honor but did recieve the class they wanted

Answer 2

I got that mixed up those were for the students who were on the honor roll who did not get math class requested

Answer 3

P(Recieved math class) = ?

Answer 4

Honor roll and Received math class requested = 215/295=72.8 or 73%
Honor roll and Did not get math class requested= 80/295=10%
Not on honor roll and Received math class requested 125/205=61%
Not on honor roll and Not on honor roll = 80/205=39%
