standard_description: Informally assess the degree of visual overlap of two numerical data distributions with similar variabilities, measuring the difference between the centers by expressing it as a multiple of a measure of variability. For example, the mean height of players on the basketball team is 10 cm greater than the mean height of players on the soccer team, about twice the variability (mean absolute deviation) on either team; on a dot plot, the separation between the two distributions of heights is noticeable.
problem_activity: Task
Each student in a random sample of students at a local high school was categorized according to gender (male or female) and whether they supported a proposal to increase the length of the school day by 30 minutes (oppose, support, no opinion). The following table summarizes the data for this sample.
|        |        | Opinion on Proposal to Increase Length of School Day |         |            |       |
|--------|--------|------------------------------------------------------|---------|------------|-------|
|        |        |                        Oppose                        | Support | No Opinion | Total |
| Gender |  Male  |                          50                          |   40    |     20     |  110  |
|        | Female |                          40                          |   40    |     10     |  90   |
|        | Total  |                          90                          |   80    |     30     |  200  |
What proportion of the students in this sample are male?
What proportion of the students in this sample support the proposal?
What proportion of the males in this sample support the proposal?
What proportion of the students in this sample who support this proposal are male?
