A sociologist polled a random sample of people and asked them their age and annual income. The two-way frequency table below shows the results. Annual income vs. age group Less than $50,000 At least $50,000 Total Ages 44 and under 148 68 216 Ages 45 and above 38 94 132 Total 186 162 348 Which of the following statements is true of those polled? Choose 1 А A person with an annual income of less than $50,000 is more likely to be 45 years old or above. B A person in the 44 and under age group is more likely to to have an annual income of at least $50,000

C A person with an annual income of at least \$50{,}000$50,000dollar sign, 50, comma, 000 is more likely to be 454545 years old or above

solution:

as, mean is defined as sum of all the observations divided by total number of observations.

and , median is mid value of the data whether arranged in ascending order or descending order.

consider, roadsters:

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

mean =

also, median= , because number of observations is even, so median is mean of two mid values.

now, coming to bandits

2,3,4,5,6

mean =  

median = 4, as number of observations is odd.

so, roadsters has greater median as well mean than bandits.

→option a is true about the repairs performed on 2 types of cars:

bandits have lower median and mean than roadsters.
