Question

A group of students were surveyed to find out if they like building snowmen or skiing as a winter activity. The results of the survey are shown below:
60 students like building snowmen
10 students like building snowmen but do not like skiing
80 students like skiing
50 students do not like building snowmen
Make a two-way table to represent the data and use the table to answer the following questions.
Part A: What percentage of the total students surveyed like both building snowmen and skiing? Show your work. (5 points)
Part B: What is the probability that a student who does not like building snowmen also does not like skiing? Explain your answer. (5 points)

Answer 1

Given:

A group of students were surveyed to find out if they like building snowmen or skiing as a winter activity. The results of the survey are shown below:

• 60 students like building snowmen

• 10 students like building snowmen but do not like skiing

• 80 students like skiing

• 50 students do not like building snowmen

Make a two-way table to represent the data and use the table to answer the following questions.

To Find:

Part A: What percentage of the total students surveyed like both building snowmen and skiing? Show your work. (5 points)

Part B: What is the probability that a student who does not like building snowmen also does not like skiing? Explain your answer. (5 points)

Solution:

Before proceeding further let us solve it by drawing a Venn diagram, drawing a universal set that is a rectangular box and inside that draw two sets that are circle intersecting each other, name the two circles as Sn and Sk for snowmen and skiing respectively,

using the given data fill all the values in the Venn diagram

The total number of students surveyed are 160.

(A) The number of students who liked both building snowmen and skiing is 50 and the total number of students is 160, finding the percentage we have,

$\%=\frac{50}{160}*100\\=31.25\%$

Hence, the percentage of students who liked both building snowmen and skiing is 31.25%.

(B) The no of students who don't like anything is 20 and the total no of students is 160, finding the probability we have,

$P=\frac{20}{160} \\=0.125$

Hence, the probability that students don't like doing any of the activities is 0.125.
