Refer to the 2013 National Science Foundation (NSF) study on girls participation in informal science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) programs, Exercise 2.3. Recall that the researchers sampled 174 young women who recently participated in a STEM program. Of the 174 STEM participants, 107 were in urban areas, 57 in suburban areas, and 10 in rural areas. If one of the participants is selected at random, what is the probability that she is from an urban area? Not a rural area?

Data from Exercise 2.3

The National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsored a study on girls participation in informal science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) programs. The results of the study were published in Cascading Influences: Long-Term Impacts of Informal STEM Experiences for Girls (March 2013). The researchers sampled 174 young women who recently participated in a STEM program. They used a pie chart to describe the geographic location (urban, suburban, or rural) of the STEM programs attended. Of the 174 STEM participants, 107 were in urban areas, 57 in suburban areas, and 10 in rural areas.
