Problem
The students in a certain class were classified by hair color and eye color. The conventions used were: Brown and black hair were considered dark, and red and blonde hair were considered light; black and brown eyes were considered dark, and blue and green eyes were considered light. They collected the data shown in Table 5.6 (Dark Hair/Dark Eyes: 28, Dark Hair/Light Eyes: 15; Light Hair/Dark Eyes: 9, Light Hair/Light Eyes: 23). Are these traits independent? (See Example 5.6.)
