Many easy-weight-loss products are just gimmicks that attract people with the hope of a fast way to a slimmer body. Suppose that a random sample of residents in one community was asked if they had ever tried a quickweight-loss product. They were also asked if they thought that there should be stricter advertising controls to prohibit deceptive weight-loss advertising. Are respondents' views on advertising controls dependent on whether or not they had ever used a quick-weight-loss product? \begin{array}{lcc} \hline & \text { Used a Quick-Weight-Loss Product? } \\ \cline { 2 - 3 } \text { Advertising } & \text { Yes } & \text { No } \\ \hline \text { Stricter controls needed } & 85 & 40 \\ \text { Stricter controls not needed } & 25 & 64 \\ \hline \end{array}
