Question

A conditional relative frequency table is generated by row from a set of data. The conditional relative frequencies of the two categorical variables are then compared.
If the relative frequencies are 0.48 and 0.52, which conclusion is most likely supported by the data?


A.) There is likely an association between the categorical variables because the relative frequencies are similar in value.

B.) An association cannot be determined between the categorical variables because the relative frequencies are similar in value.

C.) An association cannot be determined between the categorical variables because the relative frequencies are not similar in value.

D.) There is likely an association between the categorical variables because the relative frequencies are both close to 0.50.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

A.) There is likely an association between the categorical variables because the relative frequencies are similar in value.

Explanation:

If the relative frequencies are similar, then there is probably an association between the variables.

If the relative frequencies are not similar, then there is probably not an association between the variables.

Answer 2

The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "D.) There is likely an association between the categorical variables because the relative frequencies are both close to 0.50." Given that a relative frequencies of 0.48 and 0.52, there will be an association between the categorical variables.
