problem_activity: Task
Each student in a random sample of students at a local high school was categorized according to gender (male or female) and whether they supported a proposal to increase the length of the school day by 30 minutes (oppose, support, no opinion). The following table summarizes the data for this sample.
|        |        | Opinion on Proposal to Increase Length of School Day |         |            |       |
|--------|--------|------------------------------------------------------|---------|------------|-------|
|        |        |                        Oppose                        | Support | No Opinion | Total |
| Gender |  Male  |                          50                          |   40    |     20     |  110  |
|        | Female |                          40                          |   40    |     10     |  90   |
