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 knowing that a person is in college means they are more likely to drive. Is Micah’s conclusion correct? Explain.

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

According to the data:

15 could

15 could not

Out of 30 students in high school, 15 could drive: 15/30=1/2

Out of 60 college students, 30 could drive: 30/60=1/2

The data shows that being in college doesn't mean that there is a higher chance of knowing how to drive.
