Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand the Problem
The problem involves comparing the educational attainment of males and females in a certain country based on a population survey. The survey data is presented in a table and graph, and we need to answer questions about this data.
Step 2: Analyze the Graphs
The graphs show the relative frequency of educational attainment levels for males and females. The educational levels are labeled A through F, and the relative frequencies are plotted for each gender.
Step 3: Compare Educational Attainment
To answer part (d) of the question, we need to compare the educational attainment levels of males and females based on the graphs provided.
Option A: Each gender's educational attainment is about the same.
Option B: Female educational attainment is substantially greater than male educational attainment.
Option C: Male educational attainment is substantially greater than female educational attainment.
By examining the graphs, we can see that the relative frequencies of educational attainment levels for males and females are quite similar, with no substantial differences.
Final Answer
A. Each gender's educational attainment is about the same.
