Step 1
Given,
Men students at orientation =60%
Arts major students at orientation =30%
We have to find the truthfulness of the statement :
60%×30%=18% of the students at the orientation are male arts majors
Step 2
Let's assume
Total number of students at orinetation = x
Men students at orientation =60% of x
=60100×x
=0.6x
Other than men students at orientation =x0.6x=0.4x
Arts major students at orientation =30% of x
=30100×x
=0.3x
So,
These 0.3x arts may be from men students or may be from other than men students at orientation
Then, the statement
60%×30%=18% of the students at the orientation are male arts majors is false.
