The table below reveals the relative frequencies of students and how they get to and from school. Why is the lower right cell in this table 100%? is it because every row in this sort of table adds to 100? all of the other numbers in the table add to 100? it was just a lucky set of numbers that happened to add to 100? or because 100% represents all of the students who were included in the data set?
Can someone please help? Thank you.
The International League of Triple-A minor league baseball consists of 14 teams organized into three divisions: North, South, and West. The data showing the average attendance for the 14 teams in the International League are contained in the Excel Online file below. Also shown are the teams’ records; W denotes the number of games won, L denotes the number of games lost, and PCT is the proportion of games played that were won. Construct a spreadsheet to answer the following questions.

Human blood is classified by the presence or absence of three main antigens (A, B, and Rh). When a blood specimen is typed, the presence of the A and/or B antigen is indicated by listing the letter A and/or the letter B. If neither the A nor the B antigen is present, the letter O is used.The following table gives the percent of a country's population having each of the eight possible blood types in the sample space. Note that the presence or absence of the Rh antigen is indicated by the symbols + or −, respectively. Blood Types A+ A− B+ B− AB+ AB− O+ O− Percent 35.7 6.1 8.5 1.5 3.4 0.8 37.4 6.6 (a) What is the probability that a person selected at random from the population has a blood type that is type AB given that the person is Rh+? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)(b) What is the probability that a person selected at random from the population has a blood type that is Rh− given that the person is type O? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

The average fruit fly will lay 375 eggs into rotting fruit. A biologist wants to see if the average will be greater for flies that have a certain gene modified. The data below shows the number of eggs that were laid into rotting fruit by several fruit flies that had this gene modified. Assume that the distribution of the population is normal. 379, 406, 378, 394, 369, 369, 402, 383, 367, 357, 401, 407, 357, 394, 367 What can be concluded at the the a = 0.05 level of significance level of significance? a. For this study, we should use t-test for a population mean b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: H1: C. The test statistic (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) d. The p-value (Please show your answer %D to 4 decimal places.)

8. On the first Saturday in May, the Kentucky Derby takes place at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. A total of 20 horses race in the Kentucky Derby, and they race around a track that is 1.25 miles long. The graph below shows the speeds (in miles per hour, or mph) for all 123 horses who have won the Kentucky Derby from 1896 through 2018. a. Describe the shape, center and variability of the distribution of speeds. Frequency 30 25 20 15 10- 5- 0 b. The 2018 winner of the Kentucky Derby was Justify. Justify had a speed of 36.23 mph. Is 36.23 mph a low, high, or typical amount of this distribution? Please explain. c. Approximately what percentage of winners in this distribution have speeds that are greater than or equal to 37 mph? 33.75 34.50 35.25 36.00 36.75 37.50
