Based on the calculations, the statement which has the strongest association is that females prefer drama movies (0.571).
<h3>How to determine the strongest association?</h3>
In order to determine which statement has the strongest association, we would have to calculate the probability for each statement and then select the statement with the highest value of probability.
For females that prefer drama movies, we have:
P = (No. of females who prefer drama)/(No. of females)
P = 72/126
P = 0.571.
For males that prefer comedy movies, we have:
P = (No. of males who prefer comedy)/(No. of males)
P = 45/125
P = 0.36.
For males that prefer thriller movies, we have:
P = (No. of males who prefer thriller)/(No. of males )
P = 65/125
P = 0.52.
For females that prefer comedy movies, we have:
P = (No. of females who prefer comedy)/(No. of females)
P = 36/126
P = 0.286.
Based on the calculations, we can logically deduce that the statement with the strongest association is that females prefer drama movies (0.571).
