Professor Wilton decided to test the hypothesis that people with blonde hair have more fun than people with other hair colors. Wilton surveyed 1600 people and obtained the following results. Hair Color
$$\begin{array} { l l l l l }
\text { Amount of Fun } & \text { Blondes } & \text { Redhead } & \text { Other } & \text { Total } \
\hline \text { Lots of fun } & 250 & 50 & 300 & 600 \
\hline \text { Some fun } & 100 & 200 & 100 & 400 \
\text { No fun } & 150 & 150 & 300 & 600 \
\text { Total } & 500 & 400 & 700 & 1600
\end{array}$$ For this hypothesis, the BEST way to percentage the table is are)
A) within rows, across.
B) divide each cell by 1600.
C) within columns, down.
D) all of the above.

To analyze the hypothesis that people with blonde hair have more fun, it's most appropriate to compare the proportion of fun within each hair color category. This means calculating percentages down each column to see what proportion of blondes, redheads, and others report having lots of fun, some fun, or no fun. This approach directly addresses the hypothesis by comparing fun levels within each hair color group.
