In a recent health survey, 330 randomly selected college undergraduates were asked, "Regarding your current weight, do you feel that you're: 'About right', 'Overweight', or 'Underweight'?" A contingency table summarizing the results of this survey is provided below.

Assume that this is a representative sample for men and women in this age group.

	Weight Perception versus Gender
Gender	About right	Overweight	Underweight
Female	141	18	11
Male	110	2	48
