The study included 60 participants, and its intent was to see if there was a difference between competition levels of 1 to 3 and levels 4 or higher. The results are summarized in the table. Which statement is a correct association that can be made based on the data provided? (1 point) Responses If a student practices more than 5 hours, they are more likely to be at a competition level of 1–3. If a student practices more than 5 hours, they are more likely to be at a competition level of 1–3. There is an association between the competition level and the number of hours of practice. There is an association between the competition level and the number of hours of practice. All students are more likely to get a competition level of 4 or higher with less than 5 hours of practice. All students are more likely to get a competition level of 4 or higher with less than 5 hours of practice. There is no association between the competition level and the number of hours of practice.

Answer 1

Based on the data provided in the table, we can analyze the practice hours in relation to competition levels.

Here’s a summary of the relevant data:

• Practices less than 5 hours a week:
  • Level 1–3: 23
  • Level 4 or Higher: 10
• Practices more than 5 hours a week:
  • Level 1–3: 9
  • Level 4 or Higher: 18

From this information, we can see that:

• For students practicing less than 5 hours, a higher number (23) are at competition Level 1–3 compared to those at Level 4 or Higher (10).
• For students practicing more than 5 hours, a higher number (18) are at competition Level 4 or Higher compared to those at Level 1–3 (9).

Thus, we can observe that students who practice more than 5 hours a week are more likely to be at a competition level of 4 or higher.

Therefore, the correct association that can be made based on the data provided is:

There is an association between the competition level and the number of hours of practice.
