Question
Suppose the percent of licensed U.S. drivers (from a recent year) that are female is 48.30. Of the females, 6.02% are age 19 and under; 80.79% are age 20-64; 13.19% are age 65 or over. Of the licensed U.S. male drivers, 5.68% are age 19 and under; 79.86% are age 20-64; 14.46% are age 65 or over.

Suppose that 10,000 U.S. licensed drivers are randomly selected.

  • Part (a)

    How many drivers would you expect to be male?
      drivers
  • Part (b)

    Using a tree diagram of the given situation, construct a contingency table of gender versus age group. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)
      19 and under 20-64 65 and over Total
    Female        
    Male        
    Total       10,000
