A survey was taken to determine whether students preferred to watch videos or listen to music. Of the 100 students surveyed, 44 were seniors. Of the 65 students who preferred to watch videos, 42 were juniors. Use this information to complete the frequency table below.
| Juniors | Seniors | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Watch Videos | |||
| Listen to Music | |||
| Total |
Answer: Watch Videos: Juniors = 42, Seniors = 23, Total = 65
Listen to Music: Juniors = 14, Seniors = 21, Total = 35
Total: Juniors = 56, Seniors = 44, Total = 100
Solution: Total students = 100, Seniors = 44, so Juniors = . Watch Videos total = 65, Watch Videos Juniors = 42, so Watch Videos Seniors = . Listen to Music total = . Listen to Music Juniors = . Listen to Music Seniors = .
