Step-by-step explanation:

No options were given, but the question can still be answered

Given

$\begin{array}{cccc}{} & {\ge 1\ tattoo} & {0\ tattoo} & {Row\ Total} & {18 -29} & {170} & {320} & {490} & {30 - 50} & {60} & {445} & {505} & {Column\ Total} & {230} & {765} & {995}\ \end{array}$

Required

Which proportion best compares age and tattoos?

The row data represents the age range of each group while the column data represents the amount of tattoo by each group.

So, to make comparison:

You simply pick a cell data and compare it to the row total.

Take for instance

For those who have at least 1 tattoo. The proportion to use are:

170/490 --- For age range: 18 - 29

60/505 --- For age range: 30 - 29

For those without tattoo. The proportion to use are:

320/490 --- For age range: 18 - 29

445/505 --- For age range: 30 - 29
