Question

the conditional relative frequency table was generated using data that compares the favorite subjects of male and female students at a high school. the survey was given to 120 male students and 180 female students. how many students in the survey said that math was their favorite subject? 42 81 120 123

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate male students who like math

Male students = 120, conditional relative frequency for math (male) = 0.35. So male math lovers = \(120\times0.35 = 42\).

Step2: Calculate female students who like math

Female students = 180, conditional relative frequency for math (female) = 0.45. So female math lovers = \(180\times0.45 = 81\).

Step3: Total math lovers

Add male and female math lovers: \(42 + 81 = 123\).

Answer:

123
