I was reading a medical report that gave some values as percentages. It said something like 30 percent of all green men have receding hairlines while only 5 percent of little blue men have receding hairlines. Is there any way I infer anything like a correlation value from that? If not, how would I approach significance testing?
I'm thinking I might have to go to nonparametric statistics since none of the values being measures (green membership, blue membership, receding hairline) are interval scale. Rather, they are all yes/no nominal scale.
