Question

In a survey, 15 high school students said they could drive and 15 said they could not. Out of 60 college students surveyed, 30 said they could drive. Micah concluded that if someone is in college, that means the person is more likely to drive. Is Micah’s conclusion correct? Explain

Answer 1

No, Micah is not correct. Since there are equal numbers of people in each group who drive and who do not drive, the relative frequency for each is 50%. Because the relative frequencies are the same, there is no association between the variables.

Answer 2

Based on the survey figures by Micah of the college students who could drive, we can infer that Michah's conclusion is not correct.

Why is Michah not correct?

Out of 60 college students surveyed, only 30 said they could drive. This means that only 50% could drive:

= 30 / 60

= 50%

A 50% relative frequency is not good enough to make the conclusion that one is more likely to drive in college. Rather it means that they are equally likely to drive or not to drive.
