Qualifications of male and female head and assistant college athletic coaches were compared in the article "Sex Bias and the Validity of Believed Differences Between Male and Female Interscholastic Athletic Coaches" (Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 1990: 259-267). Each coach was classified according to the number of years of coaching experience and sex. Below is a contingency table of sex and years of coaching experience. Which of the following is the marginal distribution for years of experience?
1-3 years = 432/3366, 4-6 years = 620/3366, 7-9 years = 720/3366, 10-12 years = 525/3366, 13 or more years = 1069/3366

Which of the following is the conditional distribution of years of experience for Sex = Male?
1-3 years = 202/2225; 4-6 years = 369/2225; 7-9 years = 482/2225; 10-12 years = 361/2225; 13 or more years = 811/2225
Blood is classified by blood type (either A, B, AB or O) and by Rh-level as either Rh+ or Rh-. A phlebotomist classified the blood type and Rh-level of the blood of 500 individuals. The data obtained are shown in the contingency table below. What proportion of people with Rh+ level were classified as having blood type O?
198/424

A company packages a particular product in cans. Most cans conform to specifications, but a quality control engineer has identified the following reasons for nonconformance: Blemish on can (Blemish) Crack in can (Crack) Improper pull tab location (Location) Pull tab missing (Missing) Other A sample of nonconforming cans is selected and each can is categorized according to the reason for nonconformity and which production line produced each can. The contingency table for the reason for nonconformance and production line is shown below. What proportion of cans from production line 1 were reported as missing the pull tab?
21/150
A company packages a particular product in cans. Most cans conform to specifications, but a quality control engineer has identified the following reasons for nonconformance: Blemish on can (Blemish) Crack in can (Crack) Improper pull tab location (Location) Pull tab missing (Missing) Other A sample of nonconforming cans is selected and each can is categorized according to the reason for nonconformity and which production line produced each can. The mosaic plot for the reason for nonconformance and production line is shown below. Which of the following statements is NOT a correct interpretation of the mosaic plot?
A can from production line 3 is more likely than a can from production line 1 to be nonconforming due to a Crack.

Qualifications of male and female head and assistant college athletic coaches were compared in the article "Sex Bias and the Validity of Believed Differences Between Male and Female Interscholastic Athletic Coaches" (Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 1990: 259-267). Each coach was classified according to the number of years of coaching experience and sex. Below is a mosaic plot of sex and years of coaching experience. Based on the mosaic plot, choose the correct statement below.
The conditional distributions of Years of Experience given Sex are different, so there is an association between the two variables.
