Question

The partially filled contingency table gives the frequencies of the data on age (in years) and sex from the residents of a
retirement home.
60-69. 70-79. Over 79. Total

Male: 12. 5. 1
Female: 8. 10. 4
Total
What is the relative frequency for females in the age group 60-69?
a. 3/20

b. 1/5

c. 9/40

d. 2/5​

Answer 1

Answer:

b) 8/40 = 1/5

Answer 2

The probability of the relative frequency for females in the age group 60-69 is 0.625.

We know that the probability of a function is the ratio of favorable cases to the total number of cases possible.

here we have to find the probability that a resident is female.

What is the formula for probability?

$Probability=\frac{Total \ numbers \ of \females}{Total \ number \of people}$

here the total number of females are=19+2+4

                                                              =25

and the total number of males=1+9+5

                                                   =15

Hence, the total number of people=25+15=40

So Probability=25/40

                      =0.625

Hence option D is correct.
