    No, Dr G has nothing to worry about because only 8 students won the academic as well as fine arts award out of 128 academic award winners. This corresponds to very low percentage of joint winners out of just academic award winners (0.0625%)

    Explanation:

    Total students in the Westside High School - 768

    Winner of academic awards - 128

    Winner of fine arts awards - 48

    Students who won both awards - 8

    Dr G pre assumption = Dr G was worried that winner of academic awards would win fine awards more likely.

    But it seems that his assumtions are wrong since only 8 students out of 128 students won joint awards (meaning only 8 students won awards for fine arts as well as academic awards). Similarly, this corresponds to only 0.0625% of students winning academic awards as well as Fine arts awards.
