\end{tabular}

Use the drop-down menus to complete the sentences below.

If you choose a student at random, choosing a student whose favorite school subject is [tex]$\square$[/tex] has the highest probability.

This [tex]$\square$[/tex] necessarily mean that choosing a student whose favorite school subject is math is likely to happen.



Answer :

Let's analyze the given percentages of students' favorite subjects:

- Math: [tex]\(30\%\)[/tex]
- English: [tex]\(25\%\)[/tex]
- Science: [tex]\(25\%\)[/tex]
- History: [tex]\(20\%\)[/tex]

To determine which subject has the highest probability of being a student's favorite, we compare the provided percentages:

1. Math: [tex]\(30\%\)[/tex]
2. English: [tex]\(25\%\)[/tex]
3. Science: [tex]\(25\%\)[/tex]
4. History: [tex]\(20\%\)[/tex]

Clearly, Math has the highest percentage among the listed subjects at [tex]\(30\%\)[/tex].

Therefore, if you choose a student at random, the subject with the highest probability of being their favorite is Math.

To express this in the sentences provided:

1. If you choose a student at random, choosing a student whose favorite school subject is Math has the highest probability.
2. This does necessarily mean that choosing a student whose favorite school subject is Math is likely to happen.

So, filling in the sentences:

[tex]\[ \text{If you choose a student at random, choosing a student whose favorite school subject is } {\textbf{Math}} \text{ has the highest probability.} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{This } {\textbf{does}} \text{ necessarily mean that choosing a student whose favorite school subject is math is likely to happen.} \][/tex]
