To analyze the data and determine the relative frequencies for each of the music genres by grade, we can calculate the proportions of 10th and 11th graders who prefer hip-hop and pop music.

Total Counts from the Table:

  • 10th Grade Hip-Hop: 112
  • 10th Grade Pop: 53
  • 11th Grade Hip-Hop: 98
  • 11th Grade Pop: 147

Total Students:

  • 10th Graders: 165
  • 11th Graders: 245
  • Overall Total: 410

Relative Frequencies Calculation:

  1. For 10th Graders:

    • Proportion who prefer Hip-Hop: \( \frac{112}{165} \approx 0.6788 \)
    • Proportion who prefer Pop: \( \frac{53}{165} \approx 0.3212 \)
  2. For 11th Graders:

    • Proportion who prefer Hip-Hop: \( \frac{98}{245} \approx 0.4 \)
    • Proportion who prefer Pop: \( \frac{147}{245} \approx 0.6 \)

Now, let's analyze the statements:

  • If you like pop music, you are more likely to be a 10th grader.

    • 10th Graders: \( 0.3212 \) for Pop
    • 11th Graders: \( 0.6 \) for Pop
    • Not true (11th graders prefer pop more).
  • If you like hip-hop, you are more likely to be a 11th grader.

    • 10th Graders: \( 0.6788 \) for Hip-Hop
    • 11th Graders: \( 0.4 \) for Hip-Hop
    • Not true (10th graders prefer hip-hop more).
  • 10th graders are more likely to prefer hip-hop over pop music.

    • Proportion Hip-Hop (10th Graders): \( 0.6788 \)
    • Proportion Pop (10th Graders): \( 0.3212 \)
    • True (10th graders prefer hip-hop more).
  • 11th graders are more likely to prefer hip-hop over pop music.

    • Proportion Hip-Hop (11th Graders): \( 0.4 \)
    • Proportion Pop (11th Graders): \( 0.6 \)
    • Not true (11th graders prefer pop).

Conclusion: The statement that is true is: 10th graders are more likely to prefer hip-hop over pop music.
