Chapter 10.1, Problem 10.32E

To determine

To Explain: that the relationship between two variables cannot be obtained from the two individual distributions of the variables

Explanation of Solution

Given:

a	b	50
c	d	50
60	40	100

Calculation:

Possible first option is a=c=30 and b=d=20

30	20	50
30	20	50
60	40	100

Another possible option is a=40, b=10, c=20, d=30

40	10	50
20	30	50
60	40	100

It is observed that the relationship between two variables cannot be determined from the row and column totals. (Answer may vary)
