<PRE><B>Question 703268</B>
Democrat Republican Independent
Male 52 65 20
Female 88 52 35
• Are sex and party affiliation related?
• Report the appropriate null and research hypotheses and the critical value
(alpha = 0.05). In addition, provide your statistical conclusion, including calculation of test statistic and what the data suggests in one to two sentences.
Ho: row and column factors are independent
H1: they are not independent
----
I ran an ANOVA program on the data and got the following:
test statistic: F = 0.3794
p-value = 0.57
-----
df = 1
SS = 240.6666
MS = 240.6666
---
Since the p-value is greater than 5%, fail to reject Ho at the 5%
level of significance.
The test results support the conclusion that sex and part affiliation
are independent.
Cheers,
Stan H.
