Have you ever donated blood? If so, how often do you donate blood? Studies have looked at
Question:
Have you ever donated blood? If so, how often do you donate blood? Studies have looked at who is more likely to donate blood: men or women? Suppose that three students, Eddie, Francisco, and Gina, each decide to take random samples of men and women and ask each of the participants whether they have donated blood in the past 12 months.
• Eddie finds that 20 of 100 men and 15 of 100 women in his study have donated blood in the past 12 months.
• Francisco finds that 25 of 100 men and 23 of 100 women in his study have donated blood in the past 12 months.
• Gina finds that 40 of 200 men and 30 of 200 women in her study have donated blood in the past 12 months.
