Data was collected from a simple random sample of 200 cell phone users age 18 or older in the United States. Each user was categ
orized by age-group and by whether he or she uses a certain cell phone app. The table shown summarizes the data, with expected cell counts in parentheses. Uses Cell Phone App
Yes No Total
Age-Group Young Adults 4 (15.2) 76 (64.8) 80
Older Adults 29 (19.38) 73 (82.62) 102
Elderly Adults 5 (3.42) 13 (14.58) 18

Which statement is true about whether the conditions for a chi-square test for independence have been met?
A. All necessary conditions are satisfied to apply a chi-square test for independence between age group and texting use by cell phone users.
B. The data from the different age groups are not the result of independent random samples; therefore, the conditions for the test are not met
C. The total sample size in one or more of the age-groups is too small to meet the conditions of the chi-square test for independence.
D. Not all of the observed cell counts are large enough to satisfy the conditions for the chi-square test for independence.
E. Not all of the expected cell counts are large enough to satisfy the conditions for the chi-square test for independence
