Select the correct answer below:   An online research company puts out a survey asking people two questions. First, it asks whether they buy groceries online. Second, it asks whether they own a car or not. The data are collected and recorded in a contingency table.

She surveys a random sample of families and records the distribution of time spent watching television for each gender. She wants to determine if the distributions are the same.   A professor is trying to decide if her students randomly guessed on a certain multiple choice question or if they had some idea of the correct answer.
