17. A 2 × 2 contingency table is a table that shows the frequencies of two categorical variables that have

two levels each. For example, the table below shows the frequencies of gender and eye color for a
sample of 100 people.

| | Blue | Brown |

|----------|------|-----------|

| Male | 20 | 30 |

| Female| 25 | 25 |

dependent. The null hypothesis is:

- a) Gender and eye color are dependent

- b) Gender and eye color are independent

- c) Gender and eye color are correlated
