\end{tabular}

Complete the statement to identify the value given from the table:

0.18 represents a ______.

0.46 represents a ______.



Answer :

Let's analyze the table provided to understand what the values 0.18 and 0.46 represent.

The table organizes the favorite type of music responses by gender (Boys and Girls) and provides the percentage of each gender who prefers a particular music type and the total percentage across all students.

Starting with the value 0.18:
- From the table, under the "Rock" row and "Boys" column, we see the value 0.18.
- Therefore, 0.18 represents the percentage of boys whose favorite type of music is Rock.

Now, looking at the value 0.46:
- At the bottom of the table, under the "Total" row and "Girls" column, we see the value 0.46.
- Thus, 0.46 represents the total percentage of girls who were surveyed.

So, the completed statements are:
- 0.18 represents the percentage of boys whose favorite type of music is Rock.
- 0.46 represents the total percentage of girls who were surveyed.
