PLS help will medal and fan!!! The table shows the number of students in a school who like tacos and/or pizza: Like Tacos Do Not Like Tacos Total Like Pizza 57 13 70 Do Not Like Pizza 12 15 27 Total 69 28 97 What is the relative frequency, by row, of students who like both tacos and pizza?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you retype the chart.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like pizza and tacos 57 don't like pizza and like tacos 12 total 69 that's one row

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like pizza don't like tacos 13 don't like pizza don't like tacos 15 total 28 that's another row

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here's the last one total 70 total 27 total 97

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be..... Lowest to highest.. so what's after 27... 97.. or 70?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here are the answer choices 0.18 0.46 0.81 0.83

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh it's like that. alright so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do we do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so you have to find the answer for people who don'tlike pizza and tacos?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea and its a decimal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Kk Let me think this through

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@fallenangelorchid help us figure this out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Data_LG2 can help us through this too. He's good at this stuff....lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how to do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Relative frequency is the ratio between the value of a subtotal to the value of the total ~mcgrawhill book So based from your question, it is asking for the relative frequency of students who like both tacos and pizza.. so that will be like: \(\sf \Large \frac{both\ tacos\ and\ pizza}{Total\ no.\ of\ people}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look at your table, how many people like both tacos and pizza?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

57

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that's right, since its by "row", how many people likes pizza in total?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

70

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Data_LG2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now, get the ratio of those two values **look at the definition of relative frequency I stated above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so divide 57 by 70

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 81 thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope its not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.81 not 81 xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea sorry .81

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just remembered too. I'm homeschooled and I'm in class right now so it was 57/70... and that equals 0.81! Lol
