Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Problem

James is analyzing the relationship between weather conditions and the punctuality of a downtown train. The data provided includes the number of times the train was on time or delayed under different weather conditions (sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy).

Step 2: Identify the Data

The table provides the following data:

  • Sunny: On time = 167, Delayed = 170
  • Cloudy: On time = 115, Delayed = 55
  • Rainy: On time = 33, Delayed = 15
  • Snowy: On time = 15, Delayed = 35
Step 3: Calculate Conditional Distributions

To find the conditional distributions of arrival status for each weather condition, calculate the percentage of on-time and delayed trains for each weather condition.

Sunny:
  • Total: 167 + 170 = 337
  • On time: (167 / 337) * 100 ≈ 49.6%
  • Delayed: (170 / 337) * 100 ≈ 50.4%
Cloudy:
  • Total: 115 + 55 = 170
  • On time: (115 / 170) * 100 ≈ 67.6%
  • Delayed: (55 / 170) * 100 ≈ 32.4%
Rainy:
  • Total: 33 + 15 = 48
  • On time: (33 / 48) * 100 ≈ 68.8%
  • Delayed: (15 / 48) * 100 ≈ 31.2%
Snowy:
  • Total: 15 + 35 = 50
  • On time: (15 / 50) * 100 = 30%
  • Delayed: (35 / 50) * 100 = 70%
Step 4: Match the Graph

Compare the calculated percentages with the graphs provided to determine which graph correctly displays the conditional distributions.

Final Answer

The first graph correctly displays the conditional distributions of arrival status for each weather condition.
