Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The table shows that as age increases, so does the employment status. This indicates a positive association between age and employment status. Choice A is incorrect because it suggests a negative association, which is not supported by the data. Choice B is also incorrect because it suggests that employment status increases with age, which is not always the case as some individuals may retire. Choice D is incorrect because it suggests a negative association as well, even though the data shows a positive association. Therefore, the best conclusion is that there is a positive association between age and employment status, so choice E is the best answer.
