Chapter 12: Q. 12.42 (page 499)

Consider the variables "gender" and "class level."

Part (a): Group the bivariate data for these two variables into a contingency table.

Part (b): Determine the conditional distribution of gender within each class level and the marginal distribution of gender.

Part (c): Determine the conditional distribution of class level within each gender and the marginal distribution of class level.

Part (d): Does an association exist between the variables "gender" and "class level" for this population? Explain your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a): The contingency table is given below,

Part (b): The distribution is given below, where the last given row shows the marginal distribution of the variable gender,

Part (c): The distribution is given below, where the last column shows the required marginal distribution,

Part (d): Yes. If there was no association then the conditional distribution of class levels within the genders male and female would be identical, but this is not the case.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information,

Consider the given question,

02

Part (a) Step 2. Write the contingency table. 

On grouping the bivariate data for the two variables "gender" and "class level" into a contingency table is given below,

03

Part (b) Step 1. Determine the conditional distribution of gender.

The table given below is of required conditional and marginal distribution,

The last given row shows the marginal distribution of the variable gender.

04

Part (c) Step 1. Determine the conditional distribution of class level.

The table given below is of required conditional and marginal distribution,

The column headed "F", shows the distribution of class level within females. Similarly, the column "M" shows the distribution within males.

Hence, the last column shows the required marginal distribution.

05

Part (d) Step 1. Explain if an association exist.

Yes, an association exist between the variables "gender" and "class level" for this population.

If there was no association then the conditional distribution of class levels within the genders male and female would be identical, but this is not the case.

Housing Foundations. The U.S. Census Bureau publishes information about housing units in American Housing Survey for the United States. The following table cross-classifies single-unit occupied housing units by foundation type and tenure of occupier. The frequencies are in thousands.

For single-unit occupied housing units:

Full-basement22,9873,30126,288
Partial-basement7,5169908,506
Crawl-space14,2893,47717,776
Concrete slab21,0135,65126,664
Other9493341,283
Total66,75413,75380,507

a. How many have crawl spaces?

b. How many are owner occupied?

c. How many are rented and have full basements?

d. How many have a basement?

e. How many are either owner occupied or have a concrete slab?

In each of the given Exercises, we have given the number of possible values for two variables of a population. For each exercise, determine the maximum number of expected frequencies that can be less than 5 in order that Assumption 2 of Procedure 12.2 on page 506 to be satisfied. Note: The number of cells for a contingency table with m rows and n columns is m鈰卬.

To decide whether two variables of a population are associated, we usually need to resort to inferential methods such as the chi-square independence test. Why?

Road Rage. The report Controlling Road Rage: A Literature Review and Pilot Study was prepared for the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety by D. Rathbone and. Huckabee. The authors discussed the results of a literature review and pilot study on how to prevent aggressive driving and road rage. Road rage is defined as an incident in which an angry or impatient motorist or passenger intentionally injures or kills another motorist, passenger, or pedestrian, or attempts or threatens to injure or kill another motorist, passenger, or pedestrian." One aspect of the study was to investigate road rage as a function of the day of the week. The following table provides a frequency distribution for the days on which 69 road-rage incidents occurred.

At the significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that road-rage incidents are more likely to occur on some days than on others?

In each of the given Exercises, we have presented a contingency table that gives a cross-classification of a random sample of values for two variables, x, and y, of a population. For each exercise, perform the following tasks.

a. Find the expected frequencies. Note: You will first need to compute the row totals, column totals, and grand total.

b. Determine the value of the chi-square statistic.

c. Decide at the 5% significance level whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the two variables are associated.
