The following problems are intended to help you continue working with formulae and concepts pertaining to contingency tables (bivariate frequency tables).
Results on seat belt usage from the 2003 Youth Risk Behavior Survey were published in a USA Snapshot on January 13, 2005. The following table outlines the results from the high school students who were surveyed in the state of Nebraska. They were asked whether or not they rarely or never wear seat belts when riding in someone else's car (Johnson & Kuby, 2007).
