A local judge has been allowing some individuals convicted of "driving under the influence" to work in a hospital emergency room as an alternative to fines, suspensions, and other penalties. A random sample of offenders has been drawn as part of a research study. Some participate in the emergency department program and others do not. Do the data suggest an association between program participation and recidivism (repeat arrest for DUI)?

1. Compute column percents for the table to determine the pattern of the relationship. Which group was more likely to be rearrested for driving under the influence?
2. Is there a statistically significant relationship between these variables?
