To find the probability that a randomly selected respondent who believes that Antarctic penguins are threatened "a great deal" is female, we need to find the number of females who believe penguins are threatened a great deal and divide it by the total number of people who believe penguins are threatened a great deal.
From the table provided in the question, we see that the total number of people who believe penguins are threatened a great deal is 53% of the total respondents.
Now, we need to find out what percentage of this 53% are females. Since this information is not explicitly provided in the question, we cannot calculate the exact probability.
Therefore, the correct answer is that we do not have enough information to accurately determine the probability that a randomly selected respondent who believes that Antarctic penguins are threatened "a great deal" is female.
A recent social survey asked whether respondents believed
that Antarctic penguins were threatened. The responses are summarized in the table below.
A respondent is randomly selected among those who believe that penguins are threatened "a great deal!"
Approximately what is the probability that this respondent will be female?
To find this probability, find the number of females who believe that penguins are threatened a great de and the total number of people who believe that penguins are threatened a great deal. Then find the probability.
