Solution
To complete this two-way table, we need to fill in the missing values using the information given in the rows and columns. Here’s how to solve it step-by-step:
Step 1: Determine Missing Values in Grade 7 Row
-
Add up the entries in the "Arabic" and "Total" columns for Grade 7:
- The total for Grade 7 is 45.
- Grade 7 Arabic students are 11.
To find the number of students studying Spanish and Mandarin in Grade 7, subtract 11 from 45:
Now, 34 students are studying either Spanish or Mandarin in Grade 7.
-
Use the column totals to find Grade 7 Spanish students:
- The total number of students studying Spanish is 37, and Grade 8 Spanish students are 19.
To find the Grade 7 Spanish students:
So, 18 Grade 7 students study Spanish.
-
Calculate Grade 7 Mandarin students:
- Since we found 34 students studying either Spanish or Mandarin, and 18 of them study Spanish, the remaining are studying Mandarin:
Thus, 16 Grade 7 students study Mandarin.
Step 2: Determine Missing Values in Grade 8 Row
-
Calculate Grade 8 Mandarin students:
- The total number of Mandarin students is 50.
- Grade 7 has 16 Mandarin students.
So, Grade 8 Mandarin students:
-
Calculate Total for Grade 8 Row:
- Sum the Grade 8 values for each language:
Now, the table is completed as follows:
Arabic | Spanish | Mandarin | Total | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Grade 7 | 11 | 18 | 16 | 45 |
Grade 8 | 26 | 19 | 34 | 79 |
Total | 37 | 37 |
