Does ownership of expensive car brands depend on level of education?
Ownership of expensive car brands by level of education and income level
Ownership of an expensive car | High income | Low income |
| College degree | No college degree | College degree | No college degree |
| yes | 20 % | 20 % | 40 % | 40 % |
| no | 80 % | 80 % | 60 % | 60 % |
| Total | 100 % | 100 % | 100 % | 100 % |
| Number of cases | 100 | 700 | 150 | 50 |
Is the relationship still there?
No — within each income group, car ownership is the same (20% and 40% respectively). The relationship with level of education was spurious; in fact, income is what matters.
