To determine which statements are true based on the relative frequencies of music genre preferences between 10th and 11th graders, we first need to calculate the relative frequencies for each group.
-
Calculate the percentage of 10th graders who prefer each genre:
- Hip-Hop: \( \frac{112}{165} \approx 0.678 \) (or 67.8%)
- Pop: \( \frac{53}{165} \approx 0.322 \) (or 32.2%)
-
Calculate the percentage of 11th graders who prefer each genre:
- Hip-Hop: \( \frac{98}{245} \approx 0.4 \) (or 40%)
- Pop: \( \frac{147}{245} \approx 0.6 \) (or 60%)
Now, let's analyze each statement:
-
If you like hip-hop, you are more likely to be an 11th grader.
- False. A higher percentage of 10th graders prefer hip-hop (67.8% vs. 40% of 11th graders).
-
10th graders are more likely to prefer hip-hop over pop music.
- True. 10th graders prefer hip-hop at a rate of 67.8%, while only 32.2% prefer pop.
-
If you like pop music, you are more likely to be a 10th grader.
- False. 11th graders are more likely to prefer pop music (60% vs. 32.2% of 10th graders).
-
11th graders are more likely to prefer hip-hop over pop music.
- False. Only 40% of 11th graders prefer hip-hop, while 60% prefer pop.
Therefore, the true statement is: 10th graders are more likely to prefer hip-hop over pop music.
