Music and Sports

Is there an association between whether a student plays a sport and whether he or she plays a musical instrument? To investigate these questions, each student in your class should answer the following two questions:

1. Do you play a sport? (yes or no)

2. Do you play a musical instrument? (yes or no)

Students will then input their data into a class table and answer the following questions:

a. Summarize the data into a clearly labeled table.

b. Of those students who play a sport, what proportion play a musical instrument?

c. Of those students who do not play a sport, what proportion play a musical instrument?

d. Based on the class data, do you think there is an association between playing a sport and playing an instrument?

e. Create a graph that would help visualize the association, if any, between playing a sport and playing a musical instrument.
