A twin design is used to study age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a common eye disease of the elderly that results in substantial losses in vision. Suppose we contact 66 twinships in which one twin has AMD and the other twin does not. The twins are given a dietary questionnaire to report their usual diet. We find that in 10 twinships the AMD twin takes multivitamin supplements and the normal twin does not. In 8 twinships the normal twin takes multivitamin supplements and the AMD twin does not. In 3 twinships both twins take multivitamin supplements, and in 45 twinships neither twin takes multivitamin supplements.
(a)  What test can be used to assess whether there is an association between AMD and taking multivitamin supplements?
(b)  Are AMD and taking multivitamin supplements significantly associated based on these data?
