Let us first determine the row/column totals of the given table, which is the sum of all counts in the row/column:  Yonger  Middle Older  Row  totalYes78492178+49+21=148No421464+21+46=71 Column total 78+4=8249+21=7021+46=67148+71=219  We the note that the table contains 219 students in total (which is given in the bottom right corner of the above table), while 21 of the 219 students are older and Facebook users (which is given in the row ”Yes” and in the column *Older” of the above table).  21219=773∼0.09589=9.589%  Thus 9.589% of the students who responded were older Facebook users.

One hundred adults and children were randomly selected and asked whether they spoke more than one language fluently. The data were recorded in a two-way table. Maria and Brennan each used the data to make the tables of joint relative frequencies shown below, but their results are slightly different. The difference is shaded. Can you tell by looking at the tables which of them made an error? Explain. Younger Middle Older Row total Yes 78 49 21 78+49+21=148 No 4 21 46 4+21+46=71 Column total 78+4=82 49+21=70 21+46=67 148+71=219 We the note that the table contains 219 students in total (which is given in the bottom right corner of the above table), while 82 of the 219 students are younger (which is given in the row ”Column total” and in the column Younger” of the above table). 82/219 ~ 0.3744=37.44% Thus 37.44% of the students who responded were younger.
