A scientist wants to know if the color of the water affects how much animals drink. The average amount of water each animal drinks was recorded in milliliters for a week and then graphed. Is there evidence to suggest an association between water color and animal?

• Yes, the relative frequencies of the animals drinking each color of water are the same, so they must be associated.

• No, the relative frequencies of the animals drinking each color of water are about the same, so there is no evidence of association.

• No, the frequencies are hard to tell

• Yes, the frequencies are easy to tell

What is the frequencies for the bought lettuce row?

• 58

• 72

• 14

• 100
