d. Based on this data, is there a possible association between coral health and the
level of nitrate concentration? Explain your reasoning.
e. The scientists next look at how silicon dioxide concentration might be related to
coral health. The relative frequencies based on the total for each column are
shown in the table. Based on this data, is there a possible association between
coral health and the level of silicon dioxide concentration? Explain your
reasoning.
