Question #7 Checking for independence
PROBLEM: Data on gender and allergies were obtained from a random sample of 227 students who responded to an online survey on the Census at School website. The data are summarized in the two-way table shown below.
Suppose we choose one of the students in the sample at random. Calculate P(allergies|female) and P(allergies|male). Are the events “female” and “allergies” independent? Justify your answer.
What is not independent?
P(allergies | female) = 50/130 ≈ 0.385
P(allergies | male) = 34/97 ≈ 0.351
Because these probabilities are not equal, the events “female” and “allergies” are not independent. Knowing that the student is female increases the probability that the student has allergies.
