Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

In the high school survey, it said 15 could drive and 15 could not. This means that 1/2 could drive and 1/2 could not.

In the college survey, it said that 30 could drive out of 60. That is still 1/2 of the people asked.

The ratios are the same so therefore Micah's conclusion is wrong

Micah's conclusion is incorrect. This is because the college student chosen at random is equally able to drive and not able to drive.

What is wrong with the conclusion?

60 college students were surveyed. 30 of the colleges students can drive. The number of college students that would not be able to drive is 30 ( 60 - 30). There is a equal chance that a student chosen randomly would either be able drive or not.
