Let's analyze the statements one by one:
1. Comparing the Commercial Fisherman and the Supermarket Employee:
- Probability for a commercial fisherman: [tex]\(64\%\)[/tex]
- Probability for a supermarket employee: [tex]\(23\%\)[/tex]
Since [tex]\(64\%\)[/tex] is greater than [tex]\(23\%\)[/tex], a commercial fisherman is more likely to need health insurance than a supermarket employee.
2. Comparing a Person who Smokes and a Nonsmoker:
- Probability for a smoker: [tex]\(71\%\)[/tex]
- Probability for a nonsmoker: [tex]\(43\%\)[/tex]
Since [tex]\(71\%\)[/tex] is greater than [tex]\(43\%\)[/tex], a person who smokes is more likely to need health insurance than a nonsmoker.
3. Comparing an 18-year-old Male College Student and a 72-year-old Retired Female:
- Probability for an 18-year-old male college student: [tex]\(18\%\)[/tex]
- Probability for a 72-year-old retired female: [tex]\(52\%\)[/tex]
Since [tex]\(18\%\)[/tex] is less than [tex]\(52\%\)[/tex], an 18-year-old male college student is less likely to need health insurance than a 72-year-old retired female.
So, the correct answers from the drop-down menus are:
1. A commercial fisherman is more likely to need health insurance than a supermarket employee.
2. A person who smokes is more likely to need health insurance than a nonsmoker.
3. An 18-year-old male college student is less likely to need health insurance than a 72-year-old retired female.
