Describing and interpreting the data a. Two questions with categorical responses are said to be associated if knowledge of the response to one question helps in predicting the response to the other question.

For example, knowing that a student owns an automobile may increase the likelihood that the student has a job.

If that is the case, then automobile ownership and job status are associated. From the list established by the class, choose a pair of questions whose answers you think might be associated.

b. Arrange the data for the chosen pair of questions in a two-way frequency table, as illustrated here:

From the class data already collected, which of the values in the two-way table can be filled in with observed frequencies.

c. How many more pieces of information do you need to complete the table? Obtain this information and complete the table.
