A food truck did a daily survey of customers to find their food preferences. The data is partially entered in the frequency table. Complete the table to analyze the data and answer the questions: Part A: What percentage of the survey respondents liked hamburgers but do not like burritos? Show all work. (3 points) Part B: What is the marginal relative frequency of all customers who like hamburgers? Show all work. (3 points) Part C: Which category has the lowest joint relative frequency? Show all work. (4 points)

HELP!!! PLEASE!!!

ShadowOfDeath:

Oh. For this one, you first have to fill out the chart. Are you able to do that with the information you've been given?

ashley99:

yes

ShadowOfDeath:

You already have the answer to part A. 95 people out of... 205. 95/205 is 0.46 which that would translate to 41%.

ShadowOfDeath:

46%, my bad.

ShadowOfDeath:

Just a side note, I have a terrible migraine and I'm sick with a cold, so if I mess some calculations up, feel free to correct me.

ashley99:

so basically Part A-) 0.46 Part B- is 46% How about part c?

Not necessarily. Part A is the percentage so the answer to THAT is 46%.

ashley99:

Ok perfect and for part b and c sorry for the bother!

ShadowOfDeath:

No, it's not a bother at all! And part B, when I looked it up, Marginal Relative Frequency is, quoted from study.com, "the ratio between the frequency of a row total or column total to the total frequency of the data"

ashley99:

so it will be 134?

ShadowOfDeath:

If I did this correctly, the total number of people who liked hamburgers is 134 and the total amount of people is 205.

ShadowOfDeath:

Close. But not exactly.

ShadowOfDeath:

You have to find the ratio of 134:205

ShadowOfDeath:

Or written in another way, 134 of 205, I believe.

ShadowOfDeath:

So you divide 134/205 to find the answer to part B.

ashley99:

0.65?

ShadowOfDeath:

Which is what as a percentage?

ashley99:

65% ?

ShadowOfDeath:

Correct. The exact answer you would put is 65.37%, but we'll keep it as 65% for a simpler answer.

ashley99:

perfect!

ShadowOfDeath:

Part C is the simplest out of all of them. All you do is take each of the earlier numbers; 39,38,95, and 33 and divide all of those by 205.

ShadowOfDeath:

So 39/205 38/205 95/205 33/205

ShadowOfDeath:

Once you calculate all of those and you find the lowest percentage, that's your answer to part C.

ashley99:

33/205 is the lowest because it gave me 0.16

ShadowOfDeath:

Then the answer is 16% and that's the answer to Part C.

ShadowOfDeath:

To recap, Part A is 46% Part B is 65% (65.37%) Part C is 16%

ashley99:

Wow, you're amazing! Thank you very much for helping me; i'm beyond grateful! Have a great night!

ShadowOfDeath:

ashley99:

ShadowOfDeath:
