Question

look at the table on texts assigned to students.
texts assigned to students

	poetry	prose	total
non - fiction	a	0.9	1.0
total	0.18	0.82	1.0

which value for a completes the conditional relative frequency table by row?

• 0.01
• 0.02
• 0.1
• 0.2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall row total property

In a conditional relative frequency table by row, the sum of the relative frequencies in each row is 1.0. For the Non - Fiction row, we have Poetry (a) and Prose (0.9) with a total of 1.0.

Step2: Solve for a

Using the equation \(a + 0.9=1.0\), we can solve for \(a\) by subtracting 0.9 from both sides of the equation. So \(a = 1.0 - 0.9\).

Step3: Calculate the value of a

\(a=1.0 - 0.9 = 0.1\)

Answer:

0.1
