Seventh grade students were asked whether they participated in an after school activity. Complete the table below.
What is the relative frequency of males who do not participate in an after school activity? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
yes no total
Male 40
Female 95
Total 102 187
_________yes_______ no ___________total
Male _______________40
Female ___________________________95
Total ____102 _____________________187
To find the relative frequency of males who do not participate in an after school activity, we need to divide the number of males who do not participate by the total number of students (males + females).
First, let's calculate the number of males who do not participate in an after school activity. We can subtract the number of males who do participate from the total number of males.
Number of Males who do not participate = Total Number of Males - Number of Males who participate
Number of Males who do not participate = 102 - 40
Number of Males who do not participate = 62
Next, we need to calculate the relative frequency. This can be found by dividing the number of males who do not participate by the total number of students.
Relative Frequency of Males who do not participate = Number of Males who do not participate / Total Number of Students
Relative Frequency of Males who do not participate = 62 / 187
Relative Frequency of Males who do not participate ≈ 0.33 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Therefore, the relative frequency of males who do not participate in an after school activity is approximately 0.33.
