Refer to page 34 for guidance on parts a and b.
a. Report how many students are in each of the four cells of the table by writing these values in your table.
b. Sum the numbers of students in each row and each column, and put these sums into your table. Also find the total number of students, and put it in the lower right corner.
c. What percentage of the females are right-handed?
d. What percentage of the right-handed students are female?
e. What percentage of the students are right-handed?
