The effect of guilt emotion on how a decision maker focuses on a problem was investigated in a behavioral magazine. A total of 172 volunteer students participated in the experiment, where each was randomly assigned to one of three emotional states (guilt, anger, or neutral) through a reading/writing task. Immediately after the task, students were presented with a decision problem where the stated option had predominantly negative features (spending money on repairing a very old car). The results (number responding in each category) are summarized in the accompanying table. Suppose one of the 172 participants is selected at random. Complete parts a through c.

Given that the respondent is assigned to the guilty state, what is the probability that the respondent chooses the stated option? The probability is 764 (Round to three decimal places as needed.) b.

An experiment-based study was conducted to assess the effect of guilt emotion on how a decision-maker focuses on a problem. One hundred seventy-one volunteer students participated in the experiment, where each was randomly assigned to one of three emotional states (guilt, anger, or neutral) through a reading/writing task. After the task, students were presented with a decision problem where the stated option had predominantly negative features (e.g., spending money on repairing a very old car). The results (number responding in each category) are summarized in the following table. Is there adequate evidence (at ? = 0.10) to conclude that the option choice depended on the emotional state? Use the data saved to answer the question.
