Honor roll Not on honor roll Total
Received science class requested 64 315 379
Did not get science class requested 80 41 121

Answer:

Students on Honor Roll had no advantage to get the Science class requested. It was a fair class assignment. In fact No Honor Roll students had advantage over honor Roll Students in obtaining Science Class as requested.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Here let us streamline the information we are given one by one

1.) Honor Roll

Get Requested Science Class                : 64

Did Not get  Requested Science Class : 80

Total                                                         : 144

Percentage of Honor Roll Students getting Science class as requested =

[tex]\frac{64}{144}[/tex]

= 44.44%

2.) No Honor Roll

Get Requested Science Class               : 315

Did Not get Requested Science Class :  41

Total                                                         : 356

Percentage of Non Honor Roll Students getting Science class as requested [tex]= \frac{315}{356}[/tex]

= 88.8%

By observing the above result , we can assume that Honor Roll students did not have any advantage over non Honor Roll students in getting Science Class as they requested.
