Question

Transcribed Image Text:A U.S. worker earning the federal minimum wage or less in 2021 was more likely to be a woman
than to be a man (BLANK1 vs BLANK2).
BLANK1:
0.018
BLANK2:
0.010
In the population of hourly paid workers in the United States in 2021, a woman was more likely
than a man to be earning the federal minimum wage or less (BLANK3 vs BLANK4).
BLANK3:
0.018
BLANK4:
0.010
The value for BLANK4 represents the probability
O P(man I minimum wage)
O P(minimum wage I man)
O P(man and minimum wage)

Transcribed Image Text:The Bureau of Labor Statistics provides the following data about U.S. workers ages 16 and older
who were paid hourly rates in 2021. The table shows, overall and separately for men and
women, the number of workers (in thousands, so that the upper left value of 76,125 represents
over 76 million individuals) who were paid hourly that year and the number who earned the
federal minimum wage or less.
