A survey was conducted to determine whether hours of sleep per night are independent of age. A sample of individuals was asked to indicate the number of hours of sleep per night with categorical options: fewer than 6 hours, 6 to 6.9 hours, 7 to 7.9 hours, and 8 hours or more. Later in the survey, the individuals were asked to indicate their age with categorical options: age 39 or younger and age 40 or older. Sample data follow.
Hours of Sleep | Age Group | |
---|---|---|
39 or younger | 40 or older | |
Fewer than 6 | 38 | 36 |
6 to 6.9 | 60 | 57 |
7 to 7.9 | 75 | 73 |
8 or more | 67 | 94 |
