Question

The Pennsylvania State University has its main campus in the town of State College and more than $20$ smaller “commonwealth campuses” around the state. The Penn State Division of Student Affairs polled separate random samples of undergraduates from the main campus and commonwealth campuses about their use of online social networking. Facebook was the most popular site, with more than $80 %$ of students having an account. Here is a comparison of Facebook use by undergraduates at the main campus and commonwealth campuses who have a Facebook account:

Calculate the conditional distribution (in proportions) of Facebook use for each campus setting?

Step-by-Step Solution

Verified

Answer

The conditional distribution is

1Step 1: Given Information

The table is ,

2Step 2: Explanation

The conditional distribution of the use of Facebook for both of the campus settings can be computed as:
