Answer to Problem 31E

There seems to be some (but not significant) association between gender and body image.

Explanation of Solution

There is no association if the segmented regions of bars are of equal area.

In this case, the segment of about right is almost equal for female and male but is different for underweight and overweight.

So, as per the definition there is some association between gender and body image.
