Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given is a two way table with gender on one side and fruits namely apples and oranges on other side
From the table we can say that boys preferred more apples to oranges and the same for girls also
To check association between gender and fruit let us do chi square test
Contingency table would be as follows:
Expected values would be
      Apples  Oranges
Boys   26.55  18.45
Girls    32.45  22.55
Chisquare =0.0234
p = 1
Since p is very high, we can accept that there is no association between gender and preference of fruits
There do not appear to be an association between gender and fruit preference.
