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

  1. 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: 4511=3445 - 11 = 34

    Now, 34 students are studying either Spanish or Mandarin in Grade 7.

  2. 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: 3719=1837 - 19 = 18

    So, 18 Grade 7 students study Spanish.

  3. 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: 3418=1634 - 18 = 16

    Thus, 16 Grade 7 students study Mandarin.

Step 2: Determine Missing Values in Grade 8 Row

  1. Calculate Grade 8 Mandarin students:

    • The total number of Mandarin students is 50.
    • Grade 7 has 16 Mandarin students.

    So, Grade 8 Mandarin students: 5016=3450 - 16 = 34

  2. Calculate Total for Grade 8 Row:

    • Sum the Grade 8 values for each language: 19 (Spanish)+34 (Mandarin)+26 (Arabic)=7919 \text{ (Spanish)} + 34 \text{ (Mandarin)} + 26 \text{ (Arabic)} = 79

Now, the table is completed as follows:
