To investigate whether middle school students think that being overweight is under a child's control, students in 7th and 8th grade were given a questionnaire. One question asked was, "Is it the child's fault if they are fat?" Of the 84 boys who answered the question, 25 said yes, 24 said no, and 35 said they were not sure. Of the 138 girls, 23 said yes, 61 said no, and 54 said they were not sure. What can you conclude about any difference in how boys and girls respond to this questions?
