@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what did you get so far?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

1.False

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

why is 1 false?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

because 43/67?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

not sure why you're calculating it like that

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

look at the `0-30 miles` column and `very/somewhat dangerous` row and you'll find 43%

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

yes but shouldn't the not 100 total(the 67) be considered?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

1 is true because the answer is indeed 43% percentage of people who drive 0-30 miles AND feel it's dangerous = 43%

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

then 2 is false

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes because it should be 65%

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

idk I'm not sure this seems to easy to be Interpret Relative Frequencies

@satellite73

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

@kropot72 can you help?

OpenStudy (kropot72):

C. Perhaps it will help your thinking if you reduce the number of of people in the poll to 100. In that case, the total number who opted for 'very/somewhat dangerous' would be 65 people and 22 out of the 65 people drive 31 or more miles daily. Do 22 people represent 35% of 65 people?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

is 33.84

OpenStudy (kropot72):

Yes, that is the percentage. Therefore the statement is .......

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

true since it is very close?

OpenStudy (kropot72):

IMHO it is definitely not close enough.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

what IMHO mean and then false?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

and btw where the first 2 correct?

OpenStudy (kropot72):

IMHO = In my humble opinion. Yes, the first two statement are correct.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

alright thank you :) and then the last one would be true?

OpenStudy (kropot72):

D. Consider that the total number of people who drive 0 - 30 miles is 67 people. Then 24 people out of the 67 people believe that self-driving cars are very/somewhat safe. What percentage is 24 of 67 people?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

36 sooo false again

OpenStudy (kropot72):

Yes, false again!

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

thank you very much for your help

OpenStudy (kropot72):

You/re welcome :)
