The National Governors Association publishes information on U.S Governors in Governors' Political Afflitiation and Term of Office. Based on that document we obtain the data on region of reidence an political party given on WeissStats site.

a. Group the bivariate data for these two variables into a contingency table.
b. Determine the conditional distribution of region within each party and the marginal distribution of region.
c. Determine the conditional distribution of party within each region and the marginal distribution of party.
d. Are the variables "region" and "party" for U.S. governors associated? Explain your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The bivariate data for these two variables into a contingency table is:

(b) The conditional distribution of region within each party and the marginal distribution of region is:

(c) The the conditional distribution of party within each region and the marginal distribution of party is:

(d) Yes, the variables "region" and "party" for U.S. governors are associated beacuse the conditional distribution of each party are not similar.

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.

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.

Job Satisfaction. A CNN/USA TODAY poll conducted by Gallul asked a sample of employed Americans the following question: "Which do you enjoy more, the hours when you are on your job, or the hours when you are not on your job?" The responses to this question were cross-tabulated against several characteristics, among which were gender, age, type of community, educational attainment, income, and type of employer. The data are provided on the WeissStats site. In each of Exercises 12.87-12.92, use the technology of your choice to decide, at the 5% significance level, whether an association exists between the specified pair of variables.
