Description

Item 2n Horseshoe crabs on a beach can be overturned by approaching waves. These “stranded” crabs may right themselves by turning over. During a period of many days on an Atlantic Ocean beach, investigators categorized a random sample of crabs as either stranded or not stranded and additionally noted their age category. The researchers wanted to investigate whether there is convincing evidence of an association between becoming stranded and age. Data from their study are shown in the following table. Horseshoe Crab Stranded Status

	Young	Intermediate	Adult	Total
Yes	41	125	52	218
No	153	364	70	587
Total	194	489	122	805

If becoming stranded and age are independent in these creatures, which of the following is closest to the expected number of young stranded horseshoe crabs?
