A Family Therapist in a Hospital Wanted to Know If

A family therapist in a hospital wanted to know if patients with a terminal illness wanted to be informed of their true medical condition. The therapist also wondered if a person age had an effect on their attitude. Because of ethical constraints the therapist asked a healthy sample of subjects who were visitors to the hospital whether they would wish to be told if they had a terminal illness. The age of the respondents was also recorded. The results are shown in the table below.
