Answer 1

Answer:

Students who watch television in the evenings tend not to have any homework is the association suggested by the two-way table.

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the students who watch television, 33% have homework, and 67% do not have homework.

So, students who watch television in the evening tend not to have homework.

Of the students who do not watch television, 75% have homework, and 25% do not have homework.
