In 2015, the following data were reported by the U.S. Census Bureau. The data show the number of people (in thousands) living above and below the poverty line in each of the four regions of the United States (www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/ library/publications/2016/demo/p60-256.pdf). Based on these data do you think there is an association between region and poverty? Explain.
