Question

Dogs are inbred for such desirable characteristics as blue eye color; but an unfortunate by-product of such inbreeding can be the emergence of characteristics such as deafness. A 1992 study of Dalmatians (by Strain and others, as reported in The Dalmatians Dilemma) found the following:

(i) 31% of all Dalmatians have blue eyes.
(ii) 38% of all Dalmatians are deaf.
(iii) 42% of blue-eyed Dalmatians are deaf.

Based on the results of this study is "having blue eyes" independent of "being deaf"?

  • No, since .31 * .38 is not equal to .42.
  • No, since .38 is not equal to .42.
  • No, since .31 is not equal to .42.
  • Yes, since .31 * .38 is not equal to .42.
  • Yes, since .38 is not equal to .42.
