At a stop sign, some drivers come to a full stop, some come to a 'rolling stop' (not a full stop, but slow down), and some do not stop at all. We would like to test if there is an association between gender and type of stop (full, rolling, or no stop). We collect data by standing a few feet from a stop sign and taking note of type of stop and the gender of the driver. What are the hypotheses for testing for an association between gender and type of stop?

The hipotheses tested are "Simple Non Directional Hiphoteses"

Step-by-step explanation:

We are talking about carry on an observational study in one stop sign in order to see if there is a relationship between the two variables:

Gender: independent variable Reaction at a stop sign : dependent variable.

In this case the hiphteses are Simple since they are studying only the relationship between this two variables and they are Non Directional since we are trying to determine whether there is or there is not correlation between those two variables.
