Calculate probabilities with two-way tables.

Two Way Table:  A table used to display data in two different categories.

First state your answers as fractions, then change the fractions to percents.  
Remember that a fraction is a division problem, you will first need to change your fraction to a decimal by dividing.  Then watch the video below to review how to change the decimal to a percent.

Finish filling in the table below.
