A)2.2% of the variation in frequency counts of baby gender (boy or girl) can be explained by whether or not the mother ate breakfast every day.
B)There is a medium to large association between the gender of the baby and whether or not the mother ate breakfast every day.

Cramér's V values range from 0 to 1, with 0 indicating no association and 1 indicating a perfect association. A value of .22 indicates a small to medium association between baby gender and whether the mother ate breakfast every day. Option A and D are incorrect because they inaccurately interpret Cramer's V as a percentage of variance explained. Option B is also incorrect because it suggests a large association, whereas a value of .22 indicates a small to medium association.
