Chapter 12: Q. 12.43 (page 499)

Consider the variables "gender" and "college".

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

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

Part (c): Determine the conditional distribution of college within each college and the marginal distribution of college.

Part (d): Does an association exist between the variables "gender" and "college" 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,

Part (c): The distribution is given below,

Part (d): Yes. As the conditional distributions of one variables given the other are not identical.

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 "college" 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 college.

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

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 "college" for this population.

Because the conditional distributions of one variables given the other are not identical.

A chi-square independence test is to be conducted to decide whether an association exists between two variables of a population. One variable has six possible values, and the other variable has four. What is the degrees of freedom for the 蠂2statistic?

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:

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?

Bottled Water. A project exploring the bottled-water phenomenon and preference of water types was conducted by researchers M. Lunsford and A. Fink in the article "Water Taste Test Data" (Journal of Statistics Education, Vol. 18, No. 1). One hundred nine subjects participated in double-blind taste tests of three different bottled water brands (Fiji, Aquafina, and Sam's Choice) and tap water. Twelve people preferred the tap water, 27 Aquafino 44 Fiji, and 26 Sam's Choice. At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the four different water types are not equally likely in preference?

Loaded Die? A gambler thinks a die may be loaded, that is, that the six numbers are not equally likely. To test his suspicion, he rolled the die 150 times and obtained the data shown in the following table.
