A researcher is interested in determining purchasing
preferences based on age. The researcher randomly samples
people in two age groups and asks how they prefer to shop.
Conditional percentages are used to summarize the responses
in the table below:
Purchasing Preferences
..............Online..In-Store..Total
40 and above..45%.....55%.......100%
39 and below..63%.....37%.......100%
Total.........54%.....46%.......100%
Based on this information, what is the relationship between
age and shopping preference?
A) People aged 40 and above prefer shopping in-store more
than people aged 39 and below because 55% is greater than
45%.
B) People aged 40 and above prefer shopping in-store more
than people aged 39 and below because 55% is greater than
37%.
C) People aged 39 and below prefer shopping in-store more

The percentage of drivers born before and after 1990 who can
and cannot drive manual transmission is recorded in the table
below:
Results......Can Drive Manual..Cannot Drive Manual..Total
Before 1990..78%...............22%..................100%
After 1990...16%...............84%..................100%
What is the relationship between the time period drivers were
born in and the ability to drive a manual transmission car?
A) People born before 1990 are more likely to be able to drive
a manual transmission car than people born after 1990
because 78% is greater than 16%.
B) People born after 1990 are less likely to be able to drive a
manual transmission car than people born before 1990
because 22% is less than 78%.
C) People born before 1990 are more likely to be able to drive
a manual transmission car than people born after 1990
because 78% is greater than 22%.
