Two variables "Sex" and "Response" can be deemed NOT independent if the conditional distribution of "Response" is Male Female Total Game 279200 479 Commercials 81 156 237 Won't Watch 132 160 292 492516 1008 for men and women. Total Two variables "Sex" and "Response" can be deemed NOT independent if the conditional distribution of "Response" is for men and women reasonably similar quite different

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Conditional probability P( won’t watch/ men) = 132/492 = 0.268293

Conditional probability P( won’t watch/ women) = 160/516 = 0.310078

Two variables sex and response can be deemed not independent if the conditional distribution of Response is quite different for men and women.

In this case it is different and sex and response are not independent.
