In Exercises 12.101-12.106, tase either the critical-value approach or the P-value approach to perform a chi-square homogeneity test, provided the conditions for using the test are met.
12.101 Self-Concept and Sightedness. Self-concept can be defined as the general view of oneself in terms of personal value and capabilities. A study of whether visual impairment affects self-concept was reported in the article "An Exploration into Self Concept: A Comrarative Analysis between the Adolescents Who Are Sighted and
Elind in India" (British Journal of Visual Impairment, Vol. 30, No. 1, of sighted and blind Indian adolescents gave the following data on self-concept.

a. At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists in self-concept distributions between sighted and blind Indian adolescents?
b. Repeat part (a) at the1%significance level.
School Enrollment. The Current Population Survey from the
U.S. Census Bureau provides data on school enrollment. The following contingency table shows school enrollment below postsecondary, in thousands, by level and gender.
| Male | Female | Total | |
| Nursery | 2,331 | 2,377 | 4,708 |
| Kindergarten | 1,997 | ||
| Elementary | 16,504 | 15,734 | |
| High School | 8,383 | 16,446 | |
| Total | 29,363 |

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.

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 significance level, whether an association exists between the specified pair of variables.
