This week we are studying how to analyze the relationship between categorical variables with the help of a contingency table and probability.
Solve the following exercises about contingency tables and probability.
EXERCISE 1: In a population of 80 individuals, each one of them is asked the question: "What color do you prefer, blue or red?". The following
table summarizes the 80 answers.
Blue

John gets the conclusion that women are more likely to prefer blue than men. Here is his reasoning:
P(Woman | Blue) = 12/20 = 0.6
P(Man | Blue) 8/20 -0.4.
Is John correct in his conclusion? Why or why not? If not, find the right answer.
