The conditional relative frequency table below was generated by column using frequency table data comparing the number of calories in a meal to whether the meal was prepared at home or at a restaurant. A 4-column table with 3 rows titled number of calories and location of meal preparation. The first column has no label with entries greater than or equal to 500 calories, less than 500 calories, total. The second column is labeled home with entries 0.15, 0.85,1.0. The third column is labeled restaurant with entries 0.55, 0.45, 1.0. The fourth column is labeled total with entries 0.28, 0.72, 1.0.

A nutritionist attempts to determine an association between where food is prepared and the number of calories the food contains. Which is most likely true?
An association cannot be determined because the value 0.55 is similar to the value 0.45.
There is an association because the value 0.15 is not similar to the value 0.55.
There is an association because the sum of each column is 1.0.
An association cannot be determined because the sum of the rows going across is not 1.0.
