A scientist wants to know if the color of the water affects how much animals drink. The average amount of water each animal drinks was recorded in milliliters for a week and then graphed.
Is there evidence to suggest an association between water color and animal?
| cat intake (ml) | dog intake (ml) | total (ml) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| blue water | 210 | 1200 | 1410 |
| green water | 200 | 1100 | 1300 |
| total | 410 | 2300 | 2710 |
A farmer brings his produce to the farmer’s market and records whether people buy lettuce, apples, both, or something else.
| bought apples | did not buy apples | |
|---|---|---|
| bought lettuce | 14 | 58 |
| did not buy lettuce | 8 | 29 |
Make a table that shows the relative frequencies for each row. Use this table to decide if there is an association between buying lettuce and buying apples.
Researchers at a media company want to study news-reading habits among different age groups. They tracked print and online subscription data and made a 2-way table.
| internet media | print media | |

| 26–45 year olds | 132 | 72 |
| 46–65 year olds | 48 | 165 |
Here is a scatter plot:
Select all the following that describe the association in the scatter plot:
