Reference no: EM131405743

In a 1997 poll conducted by the Los Angeles Times, 1218 southern California residents were surveyed about their health and fitness habits.

One of the questions was, "What is the most important reason why you try to take care of your body: Is it mostly because you want to be attractive to others, or mostly because you want to keep healthy, or mostly because it helps your self-confidence, or what?" The following table gives the percentage distribution of responses for men and for women.

	Healthy	Self-Confidence	Attractive	Don't know	Total
Men	76%	16%	7%	1%	100%
Women	74%	20%	4%	2%	100%

Briefly discuss whether gender and reason for taking care of your body are related variables in this sample or not.
