Honor roll Not on honor roll Total
Received math class requested 315 64 379
Did not get math class requested 41 80 121
Total 356 144 500

Out of 356 honor roll students, 315 received the course they wanted. This represents 315/356 x 100% = 88.48% received the course that they requested.

Similarly, out of 144 non-honor roll students, 64 received the course they requested. This represents 64/144 x 100% = 44.44% received the course they requested.

From the above information, it can be concluded that the school does not have an equal opportunity to get the math class they requested between the honor roll and non-honor roll students.
