Do different generations view marriage differently? A 2010 survey of a random sample of adult Americans conducted by the Pew Research Center asked the following question of each participant: €œIs marriage becoming obsolete?€ Th e results from the survey are shown in the table below.

a. Find and report appropriate numerical statistics to describe the association, if any, between generation and opinion about marriage.
b. Calculate the MAD statistic for these data. 

c. Create a well-labeled graph to display the above data. Also, describe in one or two sentences what this graph tells you about the association between generations and whether marriage is viewed as becoming obsolete. Does it appear that generations tend to view marriage differently, and if so, how?
