Transcribed Image Text:Does having pets help reduce the rate of hypertension in adults? To attempt to answer this
question, researchers asked a sample of 50 adults whether or not they have hypertension
and how many pets they have (with options "none," "only one," or "more than one"). Of
the 40 people without hypertension, 45% had only one pet. The same number of people
with only one pet and more than one pet had hypertension. And of the 8 people with more
than one pet, 75% did not have hypertension.
a. Create a contingency table to display this data.
b. What proportion the adults with at least one pet had hypertension?
c.
Are having hypertension and having no pets independent events for this sample?
Justify your answer.
d. List one possible confounding variable for this analysis and explain what impact it
might have on the variables of interest.
