The following table is a crosstabulation of two variables: CLASS and HRDSHP5.

CLASS is based on the survey question: If you were asked to use one of four names for your social class, which would you say you belong in: the lower class, the working class, the middle class, or the upper class?

HRDSHP5 is based on the survey question: In the last 12 months, have you been unable to afford needed medical care?

Answer the questions below based on this table:

Cells contain: -Column percent	CLASS
LOWER CLASS	WORKING CLASS	MIDDLE CLASS	UPPER CLASS	ROW TOTAL
HRDSHP5	YES	26.5%	11.5%	5.1%	2.2%	9.0%
NO	73.5%	88.5%	94.9%	97.8%	91.0%
COL TOTAL	100.0	100.0	100.0	100.0	100.0

1. In the table, which variable is independent, and which variable is dependent?

2. In the table, what do the numbers 9.0 and 91.0 in the ROW TOTAL column refer to?

3. Describe the relationship (if there is one) between the two variables, based on what you see in the table below. Your answer should include a discussion of the percentages in the table.

4. Provide a possible sociological explanation for the relationship that you see in the table. In other words, if you see a pattern in the table, what sociological reason(s) might be behind the pattern?:
