Josh believes the
Spanish club students at his school have an unfair advantage in
being assigned to the Spanish class they request. He asked 500
students at his school the following questions: "Are you in the
Spanish club?" and "Did you get the Spanish class you requested?"
The results are shown in the table below:
Spanish Club | Not in Spanish Club | Total | |
---|---|---|---|
Received Spanish class requested | 265 | 100 | 365 |
Did not get Spanish class requested | 70 | 65 | 135 |
Total | 335 | 165 | 500 |
Help Josh determine if all students at his school have an equal
opportunity to get the Spanish class they requested. Show your work
and explain your process for determining the fairness of the class
assignment process.
