Answer 2

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

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
