Answer #1

                                              Handness

Gender                          Right                            Left

Male                              a= 39                            b=11              a+b= 50

Female                           c= 43                            d= 7             c+d= 50

                                     a+c= 82                        b+d=18           N= 100

H0 : The handness of an individual is independent of gender

H1 : The handness of an individual is not independent of gender

Test Statistic:

     χ2 = N*{ (ad-bc)^2 } /{ (a+b)*(a+c)*(b+d)*(c+d) }

    χ2 = 100*{ (39*7-11*43)^2 }/50*82*18*50

    χ2 = 1.084011

by rounding upto 3 decimal ponit

    χ2 = 1.084

Given : α = level of significance = 0.01

degress of freedom=1

χ2 (0.01,1) = 6.6349

p - value = 0.2978

Here , χ2 (0.01,1) > χ2

also p - value > α

Hence we fail to rejet H0 or do not reject H0

So, there is insufficient evidence that the " handness " of an individual is not independent of gender.
