Question

lashaun decided to create a table to compare the number of students who arrive to school by car to the number who arrive by bus. if a two - way table is made to represent the data, which could be the row and column headings?
column: boy, girl; row: arrive by car, arrive by bus
column: boy, girl; row: arrive by car, total students in class
column: boy, girl; row: arrive by bus, total students in class
column: boy, girl; row: total students in class, total who arrive by car or bus

Explanation:

The problem is about creating a two - way table to compare the number of students arriving by car and by bus, with a possible breakdown by gender (boy, girl). The rows should represent the two transportation methods (arrive by car, arrive by bus) and columns represent gender (boy, girl) to show the number of boys and girls in each transportation category. Option 1 has columns as boy, girl (gender) and rows as arrive by car, arrive by bus (transportation methods), which fits the purpose of comparing car and bus arrivals by gender. The other options include non - relevant row headings like total students in class or total who arrive by car or bus, which don't help in comparing car and bus arrivals.

Answer:

A. column: boy, girl; row: arrive by car, arrive by bus
