You wish to test whether people who buy crackers at the supermarket also tend to buy cheese. You go to your neighbourhood grocery store and ask a random sample of 100 people about their purchase. Of these, 65 bought crackers, 52 bought cheese, and 38 bought both.
1-How many people bought neither crackers nor cheese?
2-Given that 65 people bought crackers and 52 bought cheese, what is the fewest number of people that could have bought both crackers and cheese?
3-To test your hypothesis with a Fisher exact test, do you need to run a one-tailed or two-tailed test?
4-Run a Fisher exact test on the data provided to test the null hypothesis that people who buy crackers do not also tend to buy cheese. What is the p-value from the Fisher exact test (to 2 decimal places)?
