    Two variables have an association when the conditional distribution of one variable depends on the level of the other variable. A two-way table and segmented bar graph from a Pew Research study show an association between age and cell phone type, as iPhone ownership is highest in the 18-29 and 30-49 age groups, while Android ownership increases with age.

    What is a two-way table?

    What is a marginal distribution?

    What is a conditional distribution?

    How do we know which variable is the condition?

    What is a segmented bar graph?

    Why are they good to use?

    What does it mean for two variables to have an association?

    How can you tell by looking at a graph that two variables have an association?

    Example: Cell Phones


    The Pew Research Center asked a random sample of
    2024 adult cell phone owners from the United States
    which type of cell phone they own: iPhone, Android, or
    other (including non-smart phones). Here are the results,
    broken down by age category

    (a) Explain what it would mean if there was no association between age and cell phone type.

    (b) Based on this data, can we conclude there is an association between age and cell phone type? Justify.
