Question

which of the following statements about the students at central high school is true? choose 1 answer: a a 10th grade student is more likely to travel by bike than by car.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate probability of 10th - grader traveling by bike

Probability = $\frac{\text{Number of 10th - graders traveling by bike}}{\text{Total number of 10th - graders}}=\frac{17}{46}\approx0.37$

Step2: Calculate probability of 10th - grader traveling by car

Probability = $\frac{\text{Number of 10th - graders traveling by car}}{\text{Total number of 10th - graders}}=\frac{24}{46}\approx0.52$

Step3: Compare probabilities

Since $0.37<0.52$, a 10th - grade student is less likely to travel by bike than by car. So option A is false.

We need the other options to fully answer the question, but based on the work so far for option A:

Answer:

A is false (more information on other options needed for full - answer)
