Which could be a conditional relative frequency table?

A
A 4-column table with 3 rows. The first column has no label with entries C, D, total. The second column is labeled A with entries 0.25, 0.25, 0.50. The third column is labeled B with entries 0.25, 0.25, 0.50. The fourth column is labeled total with entries 0.50, 0.50, 1.0.
Option A
B
A 4-column table with 3 rows. The first column has no label with entries C, D, total. The second column is labeled A with entries 0.25, 0.35, 0.30. The third column is labeled B with entries 0.75, 0.65, 0.70. The fourth column is labeled total with entries 1.0, 1.0, 1.0.
Option B
C

A conditional relative frequency table is generated by row from a set of data. The conditional relative frequencies of the two categorical variables are then compared.

A
There is likely an association between the categorical variables because the relative frequencies are similar in value.
B
An association cannot be determined between the categorical variables because the relative frequencies are similar in value.
C
An association cannot be determined between the categorical variables because the relative frequencies are not similar in value.
D
There is likely an association between the categorical variables because the relative frequencies are both close to 0.50.

Alejandro surveyed his classmates to determine who has ever gone surfing and who has ever gone snowboarding. Let A be the event that the person has gone surfing, and let B be the event that the person has gone snowboarding.

Question illustration
A
A and B are independent events because P(A∣B) = P(A) = 0.16.
A
A and B are independent events because P(A∣B) = P(A) = 0.75.
A
A and B are not independent events because P(A∣B) = 0.16 and P(A) = 0.75.
A
A and B are not independent events because P(A∣B) = 0.75 and P(A) = 0.16.

A
P(buys lunch | male) = P(male) = 0.4.
B
P(male | buys lunch) = P(male) = 0.3.
C
P(buys lunch | male) = 0.3 and P(male) = 0.4.
D
P(male | buys lunch) = 0.4 and P(male) = 0.3.
