In the article "Growing Pains and Fear of Gangs" (Applied Psychology in Criminal Justice, Vol. 5, No. 2, pp. 139-164), B. Brown and W. Benedict examined the relationship between worry about a gang attack and actually being a victim of a gang attack. Interviews of a sample of high school students yielded the following contingency table.

b. How many of these students did not worry about gang attacks?
c. How many of these students who worried about gang attacks were actual victims of such an attack?
d. Describe the events W1 and (W2 &V1) in words.
