Question
Observed Matings among Fruit Flies
The table above shows the observed mating frequencies among a group of fruit flies raised on either a starch medium or a maltose medium. "What fraction of the observed matings were between fruit flies that were raised on the same medium?
The correct answer is:
The total group is of 59
The male or female raised on only starch = 22
The male or female raised on only maltose = 20
The total being raised on some medium = 22 + 20 = 42
The function is

Questions 33 and 34 refer to the following information
The results of an international survey of contact lens fittings during a given time period are summarized in the table and bar graph above. The table shows the number of total fittings and the mean age, in years, of the patients who were fitted for contact lenses during the time period. The total fittings consisted of new contact lens fittings and re fittings. The bar graph shows the percent of the patients who received new fittings and the percent who received re fittings.
Of the following, which best approximates the number of patients surveyed who received re fittings in New Zealand?
