During a particular year, 77 graduating boys chose to attend a 4-year college, while 34 boys attended a 2-year college; 83 girls chose a 4-year college, and 33 attended a 2-year college. What conclusion can be drawn?
Answer
A
If you are a boy in this group, you are more likely to attend a 2-year college than a 4-year college..
B
If you are a girl in this group, you are more likely to attend a 2-year college than a 4-year college..
C
If you are a girl in this group, you are more likely to attend a 4-year college than a 2-year college..
D
Knowing if a person attended a 4-year college will help determine gender.
Explanation
Among the girls, 83 chose a 4-year college and 33 chose a 2-year college. Since 83 is greater than 33, a girl in this group was more likely to attend a 4-year college. The boys’ counts also show more attending 4-year colleges (77) than 2-year colleges (34), so choice A is not supported.
