Question

a gardening club chose types of seeds to plant in the school garden. each club member chose one type of vegetable, beans or squash, and one type of flower, tulips or daisies. the results are shown in the table. choose all of the statements that can be inferred from the table. a. 64% of all garden club members chose tulips. b. 15% of all garden club members chose squash. c. 33% of the garden club members who chose beans and daisies. d. 56% of the garden club members who chose tulips also chose squash.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate percentage of members who chose tulips

The total number of members is 25. The number of members who chose tulips is 16. The percentage of members who chose tulips is $\frac{16}{25}\times100\% = 64\%$.

Step2: Calculate percentage of members who chose squash

The number of members who chose squash is 15. The percentage of members who chose squash is $\frac{15}{25}\times100\%=60\%$.

Step3: Calculate percentage of members who chose beans and daisies

The number of members who chose beans and daisies is $7 + 3=10$. The percentage of members who chose beans and daisies is $\frac{10}{25}\times100\% = 40\%$.

Step4: Analyze each statement

• Statement A: Since $\frac{9}{16}\times100\%\approx56\%$, 56% of the garden - club members who chose tulips also chose squash. This statement can be inferred.
• Statement B: $\frac{15}{25}\times100\% = 60\%

eq15\%$, so this statement is incorrect.

• Statement C: $\frac{3 + 7}{25}\times100\%=40\%

eq33\%$, so this statement is incorrect.

• Statement D: As calculated in Step 4 - A, this statement is correct.

Answer:

A. 56% of the garden - club members who chose tulips also chose squash.
D. 56% of the garden - club members who chose tulips also chose squash.
