Congress
is made up of the
House of Representatives
and the

. The tables below show a fictitious Congress by
gender and political party. The numbers themselves aren’t as important as combining them into a table and figuring out
probabilities.
Must show calculations/formula for credit. Any answer given with no calculations shown will result in no credit
for that answer.
