Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

The table shows the probabilities related to different circumstances and the need for health insurance in one city.

\begin{tabular}{|l|c|l|}
\hline \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Description} & \begin{tabular}{c}
Probability of Visiting a Doctor for \\
Injury or Illness This Year
\end{tabular} \\
\hline smoker & [tex]$72\%$[/tex] \\
\hline nonsmoker & [tex]$43\%$[/tex] \\
\hline office worker & [tex]$48\%$[/tex] \\
\hline construction worker & [tex]$53\%$[/tex] \\
\hline college student & [tex]$23\%$[/tex] \\
\hline middle-aged adult & [tex]$56\%$[/tex] \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

The collected data reveals these statistics:

A person who smokes is [tex]$\square$[/tex] to need health insurance than a nonsmoker.

An office worker is [tex]$\square$[/tex] to need health insurance than a construction worker.

A middle-aged adult is [tex]$\square$[/tex] to need health insurance than a college student.



Answer :

Let's analyze the given probabilities and infer the correct conclusions based on the data:

1. Comparing Smokers and Nonsmokers:
- Probability of visiting a doctor for a smoker is [tex]\(72\%\)[/tex].
- Probability of visiting a doctor for a nonsmoker is [tex]\(43\%\)[/tex].

Since [tex]\(72\%\)[/tex] is greater than [tex]\(43\%\)[/tex], a person who smokes is more likely to need health insurance than a nonsmoker.

2. Comparing Office Workers and Construction Workers:
- Probability of visiting a doctor for an office worker is [tex]\(48\%\)[/tex].
- Probability of visiting a doctor for a construction worker is [tex]\(53\%\)[/tex].

Since [tex]\(48\%\)[/tex] is less than [tex]\(53\%\)[/tex], an office worker is less likely to need health insurance than a construction worker.

3. Comparing Middle-aged Adults and College Students:
- Probability of visiting a doctor for a middle-aged adult is [tex]\(56\%\)[/tex].
- Probability of visiting a doctor for a college student is [tex]\(23\%\)[/tex].

Since [tex]\(56\%\)[/tex] is greater than [tex]\(23\%\)[/tex], a middle-aged adult is more likely to need health insurance than a college student.

Therefore, the correct selections for each drop-down menu are:

- A person who smokes is more likely to need health insurance than a nonsmoker.
- An office worker is less likely to need health insurance than a construction worker.
- A middle-aged adult is more likely to need health insurance than a college student.
