To create a two-way table summarizing the preferences of male and female students regarding online math courses, we need to organize the information into categories: "Prefer Online" and "Do Not Prefer Online." We'll also include totals for each row and column.

Here's how the table looks based on the information provided:

| | Prefer Online | Do Not Prefer Online | Total | |------------------------|---------------|----------------------|-------| | Male | 70 | 38 | 108 | | Female | 41 | 51 | 92 | | Total | 111 | 89 | 200 |

Explanation of the Table:

  • Males:

    • Prefer Online: 70
    • Do Not Prefer Online: 38
    • Total Males surveyed: 70 + 38 = 108

  • Females:

    • Prefer Online: 41
    • Do Not Prefer Online: 92 - 41 = 51
    • Total Females surveyed: 41 + 51 = 92

  • Total Preferences:

    • Prefer Online: 70 (Males) + 41 (Females) = 111
    • Do Not Prefer Online: 38 (Males) + 51 (Females) = 89
    • Overall Total: 108 (Males) + 92 (Females) = 200

This provides a clear view of the preferences of the students in Eloise's online Mathematics course.
