Question
A survey described the results of a poll of working adults in Canada. Each person in a random sample was classified according to gender and the number of vacation days he or she usually took each year. The resulting data are summarized in the given table.
Days of Vacation | Gender | |
Male | Female | |
None | 51 | 42 |
1-5 | 21 | 25 |
6-10 | 67 | 79 |
11-15 | 106 | 98 |
16-20 | 71 | 70 |
21-25 | 82 | 58 |
More than 25 | 118 | 79 |
(a) Is it reasonable to conclude that there is an association between gender and the number of vacation days taken?
