Explanation / Answer
1. Students(F) = 6; Students(Total) = 33. Students(F)/Students(Total) = 6/33 = .182 = (B) 2. Students(>8hrs) = 7 (>8hrs and A) + 6 (>8hrs and B)+ 4 (>8hrs and C) + 1 (>8hrs and D) + 1 (>8hrs and F) = 7+6+4+1+1 = 19; Students(Total) = 33. Students(>8hrs)/Students(Total) = 19/33 = .576 = .58 = (C) 3. Students(F and 6 Students(>8hrs) = see part 1 -> 19. (Students(A and >8hrs) + Students(B and >8hrs))/Students(>8hrs) = (7+6)/19 = 13/19 = .684 = .68 = (C)Related Questions
