Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the conditional distributions of Y change, it indicates that there is a relationship between X and Y. Therefore, the variables are associated or dependent. Choice A and B are incorrect because independence or lack of association implies that the conditional distributions of Y do not change with different values of X. Choice C is incorrect because the term "significantly related" implies a statistical significance test which is not given in the question.
