Question

a town was considering a new tax to fund a recycling program. residents were randomly surveyed about whether they supported the tax. the results are shown below in the conditional relative frequency table by column. what conclusion can you draw about the conditional relative frequency of the results? there is no association between supporting the tax and gender. a resident in the group who supports the tax is likely to be female. a resident in the group who supports the tax is likely to be male. support against total female 20% 74% 56% male 80% 27% 44% total 100% 100% 100%

Explanation:

In the conditional - relative frequency table, among those who support the tax, 80% are male and 20% are female. So a resident in the group who supports the tax is more likely to be male.

Answer:

A resident in the group who supports the tax is likely to be male.
