Question

A 2008 study conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture surveyed 20 women who drank tap water drawn from the groundwater of a region contaminated with herbicides. If those who drank tap water were exposed to herbicides, then presumably greater consumption of tap water measured in liters would result in greater exposure. The expectation supported that increasing herbicide exposures results in decreasing hemoglobin level measured in grams per deciliter – a risk factor for disease and conditions such as anemia and cancer. The response and explanatory variables in this study are both continuous such that it would be appropriate to utilize contingency table analysis.

True

False

Answer 1

For contingency table analysis, both response and explanatory variables need to be categorical.

So, we can say

The response and explanatory variables in this study are both continuous such that it would be appropriate to utilize contingency table analysis is a false statement.

ans-> False
