Question

in the us, the gear shift for a car with a manual transmission is on the right - hand side of the driver. does this discourage those who are left - handed from driving a manual transmission car? to answer this question, several drivers were surveyed about their handedness and the type of transmission they have in their automobile. the results are displayed below. transmission type preferences which of the following statements is true, according to the graph? there was an equal number of left - handed people and right - handed people chosen for the survey. right - handed people are much more likely to drive a manual transmission than left - handed people. left - handed people are much more likely to drive an automatic transmission than right - handed people. the percentage of people for each transmission preference is relatively the same for left - handed and right - handed people.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the bar - graph

The bar - graph shows relative frequencies of left - handed and right - handed people for automatic and manual transmissions. The left - handed bar and the right - handed bar have similar proportions of automatic and manual parts.

Step2: Evaluate each option

• Option 1: There is no indication from the graph that the number of left - handed and right - handed people surveyed is equal.
• Option 2: The graph does not show a large difference in the likelihood of right - handed people driving a manual transmission compared to left - handed people.
• Option 3: The graph does not show a large difference in the likelihood of left - handed people driving an automatic transmission compared to right - handed people.
• Option 4: The proportion of automatic and manual preferences is similar for left - handed and right - handed people as seen from the similar split in the bars.

Answer:

The percentage of people for each transmission preference is relatively the same for left - handed and right - handed people.
