Question
A survey of 100 people was conducted at the local grocery store. Each respondent was asked for their age and whether they wore prescription glasses. The results of the survey are shown in the table below.
Are the
A. dependent, because P(35 or under)=P(wears glasses)
B. independent, because P(35 or under)≠P(wears glasses)P(35 or under)≠P(wears glasses)
C. dependent, because P(35 or under)×P(wears glasses)≠P(35 or under and wears glasses)
D. independent, because P(35 or under)×P(wears glasses)=P(35 or under and wears glasses)
