Question

Suppose a study on the relationship between gender and political party included 200 men and 200 women and found 180 Democrats and 220 Republicans. Is that information sufficient for you to construct a contingency table for the study?

a.

Yes

b.

No

For a chi-squared test statistic of 5.02, we would reject the null hypothesis.

Select one:

True

False

Answer 1

We can summarize the relationship between several variables by using contingency tables. We can show frequency distribution between 2 variables at a time.

Given that:

No. of men = 200,

No. of women = 200,

Democrats = 180,

Republican = 220.

No. of men in Democrats and Republican= Not given,

No. of women in Democrats and Republican= Not given  

This is we can't count individuals in each category.

Hence given data is not enough for constructing a contingency table.
