A data set included the daily number of words spoken by 160 randomly selected women and 160 randomly selected men. A. The samples are dependent because there is not a natural pairing between the two samples O B. The samples are independent because there is not a natural pairing between the two samples. O C. The samples are independent because there is a natural pairing between the two samples. 0 D. The samples are dependent because there is a natural pairing between the two samples.

Clearly as there is no relation between the 160 men selected and the 160 women selected, no natural pairing is there, therefore the samples here are independent.

Therefore B is the correct answer here.
