A group of volunteers for a clinical trial consists of 88 women and 87 men. 20 of the women and 17 of the men have high blood pressure. Are high blood pressure and gender independent? Explain.

High pressure and gender are independent

Explanation:

High pressure and gender are two distinct variables that are not dependent on one other , although some studies have affirmed that high blood pressure is rampant among a specific gender than the other, some other studies have stated otherwise. Lifestyle behavior and how we react to it is generally the causes of high blood pressure, so breaking it down, causes of high blood pressure have been found to be same on some occasions in both genders, while some might be gender specific.

Conclusively, High blood pressure is not caused by the mere reason of being a particular gender therefore making the both variables independent.
