Question 1
Explanation
Add the cells across the Bus row. Their sum is \(45\), which is also shown in the row-total margin.
Question 2
Explanation
Add the interior cells in the On time column. The marginal column total is \(86\).
Question 3
Explanation
The AND event is the intersection cell \(36\). Because selection is from the full table, divide by the grand total \(105\): \(36/105=\frac{12}{35}\).
Question 4
Explanation
The condition restricts the sample space to the Bus row, whose total is \(45\). The intersection count is \(36\), so the probability is \(36/45=\frac{4}{5}\).
Question 5
Explanation
Overall relative frequency uses the grand total: \(36/105\times100\%=34.3\%\).
Question 6
Explanation
Add the cells across the In person row. Their sum is \(60\), which is also shown in the row-total margin.
Question 7
Explanation
Add the interior cells in the Not certified column. The marginal column total is \(25\).
Question 8
Explanation
The AND event is the intersection cell \(9\). Because selection is from the full table, divide by the grand total \(120\): \(9/120=\frac{3}{40}\).
Question 9
Explanation
The condition restricts the sample space to the In person row, whose total is \(60\). The intersection count is \(9\), so the probability is \(9/60=\frac{3}{20}\).
Question 10
Explanation
The reference group is the In person row, so divide \(9\) by \(60\) and convert to a percent: \(15\%\).
Question 11
Explanation
Add the cells across the Laptop row. Their sum is \(68\), which is also shown in the row-total margin.
Question 12
Explanation
Add the interior cells in the Enabled column. The marginal column total is \(118\).
Question 13
Explanation
The AND event is the intersection cell \(41\). Because selection is from the full table, divide by the grand total \(180\): \(41/180=\frac{41}{180}\).
Question 14
Explanation
The condition restricts the sample space to the Laptop row, whose total is \(68\). The intersection count is \(41\), so the probability is \(41/68=\frac{41}{68}\).
Question 15
Explanation
Subtract the other row cells from the row total: \(68-27=41\).
Question 16
Explanation
Add the cells across the Morning row. Their sum is \(40\), which is also shown in the row-total margin.
Question 17
Explanation
Add the interior cells in the No checkout column. The marginal column total is \(40\).
Question 18
Explanation
The AND event is the intersection cell \(11\). Because selection is from the full table, divide by the grand total \(150\): \(11/150=\frac{11}{150}\).
Question 19
Explanation
The condition restricts the sample space to the Morning row, whose total is \(40\). The intersection count is \(11\), so the probability is \(11/40=\frac{11}{40}\).
Question 20
Explanation
Subtract the other column total from the grand total: \(150-110=40\).
Question 21
Explanation
Add the cells across the Guided row. Their sum is \(75\), which is also shown in the row-total margin.
Question 22
Explanation
Add the interior cells in the Passed column. The marginal column total is \(105\).
Question 23
Explanation
The AND event is the intersection cell \(63\). Because selection is from the full table, divide by the grand total \(135\): \(63/135=\frac{7}{15}\).
Question 24
Explanation
The condition restricts the sample space to the Guided row, whose total is \(75\). The intersection count is \(63\), so the probability is \(63/75=\frac{21}{25}\).
Question 25
Explanation
Compare row-based rates: \(63/75\) and \(42/60\). Their difference is about \(14.0\) percentage points.
Question 26
Explanation
Add the cells across the Service row. Their sum is \(70\), which is also shown in the row-total margin.
Question 27
Explanation
Add the interior cells in the Senior column. The marginal column total is \(100\).
Question 28
Explanation
The AND event is the intersection cell \(41\). Because selection is from the full table, divide by the grand total \(190\): \(41/190=\frac{41}{190}\).
Question 29
Explanation
The condition restricts the sample space to the Service row, whose total is \(70\). The intersection count is \(41\), so the probability is \(41/70=\frac{41}{70}\).
Question 30
Explanation
Now Senior is the condition, so use its column total \(100\): \(41/100=\frac{41}{100}\).
Question 31
Explanation
Add the cells across the Weekday row. Their sum is \(90\), which is also shown in the row-total margin.
Question 32
Explanation
Add the interior cells in the Attended column. The marginal column total is \(118\).
Question 33
Explanation
The AND event is the intersection cell \(72\). Because selection is from the full table, divide by the grand total \(150\): \(72/150=\frac{12}{25}\).
Question 34
Explanation
The condition restricts the sample space to the Weekday row, whose total is \(90\). The intersection count is \(72\), so the probability is \(72/90=\frac{4}{5}\).
Question 35
Explanation
The condition after the vertical bar is Weekday, so its row total \(90\) is the restricted sample space.
Question 36
Explanation
Add the cells across the Middle row. Their sum is \(55\), which is also shown in the row-total margin.
Question 37
Explanation
Add the interior cells in the Incomplete column. The marginal column total is \(31\).
Question 38
Explanation
The AND event is the intersection cell \(11\). Because selection is from the full table, divide by the grand total \(140\): \(11/140=\frac{11}{140}\).
Question 39
Explanation
The condition restricts the sample space to the Middle row, whose total is \(55\). The intersection count is \(11\), so the probability is \(11/55=\frac{1}{5}\).
Question 40
Explanation
The row totals are disjoint and exhaustive, so their sum is the grand total: \(45+55+40=140\).
Question 41
Explanation
Add the cells across the Hybrid row. Their sum is \(70\), which is also shown in the row-total margin.
Question 42
Explanation
Add the interior cells in the Submitted column. The marginal column total is \(124\).
Question 43
Explanation
The AND event is the intersection cell \(58\). Because selection is from the full table, divide by the grand total \(150\): \(58/150=\frac{29}{75}\).
Question 44
Explanation
The condition restricts the sample space to the Hybrid row, whose total is \(70\). The intersection count is \(58\), so the probability is \(58/70=\frac{29}{35}\).
Question 45
Explanation
A marginal probability for one row uses its total over the grand total: \(70/150=\frac{7}{15}\).
Question 46
Explanation
Add the cells across the Swimming row. Their sum is \(55\), which is also shown in the row-total margin.
Question 47
Explanation
Add the interior cells in the Annual column. The marginal column total is \(101\).
Question 48
Explanation
The AND event is the intersection cell \(34\). Because selection is from the full table, divide by the grand total \(180\): \(34/180=\frac{17}{90}\).
Question 49
Explanation
The condition restricts the sample space to the Swimming row, whose total is \(55\). The intersection count is \(34\), so the probability is \(34/55=\frac{34}{55}\).
Question 50
Explanation
Restrict to the Swimming group and compute \(34/55\times100\%=61.8\%\).
