Question

Research has been carried out to measure the amount of intolerance that citizens of a certain country have for left-wing Communists and right-wing Fascists, as indicated in the table below. Note that the numbers are given as percents and each row sums to 100 (except for rounding). Use the table to answer parts through Find the probability that a randomly chosen citizen would be somewhat or extremely intolerant of right-wing Fascists. (Type an integer or a decimal.) Find the probability that a randomly chosen citizen would be completely tolerant of left-wing Communists. (Type an integer or a decimal.) Compare your answers to parts (a) and (b) and provide possible reasons for these numbers. Choose the correct answer below. If there are few citizens who are somewhat or extremely intolerant of right-wing Fascists, then it makes sense that these same few citizens would be tolerant of left-wing Communists. If there are many citizens who are somewhat or extremely intolerant of right-wing Fascists, then it makes sense that many of these citizens would be tolerant of left-wing Communists. Since many people do not tolerate extremely left-wing or right-wing political parties, it makes sense that the probabilities in parts (a) and (b) are relatively equal.

Explanation / Answer

(a) Probability = (33.6 + 54.3)/200 = 0.4395

(b) Probability = 46.9/200 = 0.2345

(c) Option (B) is the answer
