Final answer:

There is not a clear association between the type of trees (deciduous and evergreen) and their height categorizations based on the similar percentages provided for the height distributions of both types of trees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking whether there is an association between the type of trees (deciduous and evergreen) and their height categories (under or at least 40 feet). To determine if there is a clear association, we need to look at the percentages provided and compare them directly. The data suggests that 60% of deciduous trees are under 40 feet while 40% are 40 feet or taller, and for evergreens, 58% are under 40 feet while 42% are 40 feet or taller. If these percentages were substantially different, it might indicate an association between tree type and height. However, the percentages are quite similar, which indicates that there is not a clear association between the height of the trees and whether they are deciduous or evergreen. To accurately determine an association, a statistical test such as a chi-square test could be used, but the similarity in percentages provided suggests there is no strong association.

Let's begin by listing out the given information:

There are 2 separate bars on the chart (deciduous & evergreen)

60% of deciduous trees are under 40 feet & 40% are 40 feet or more

58% 0f evergreen trees are under 40 feet & 42% are 40 feet or more

Because of the similarity of the two bars (deciduous & evergreen trees), we can conclude that there is a clear association between both trees
