Question

1. The GSS has asked whether you agree or disagree with the statement, “It is much better for everyone involved if the man is the achiever outside the home and the woman takes care of the home and family.”  The table compares responses in 1977 and in 2004 and shows standardized residuals (in parentheses) for the null hypothesis of independence.
   1. The chi-square statistic is 197.  Do a five step sig test at the .05 level.  

2. Explain how to interpret the standardized residual of the people who agreed in 1977.  The standardized residuals are in the parentheses.

	Agree		Disagree		Total
1977	989	(14.0)	514	(-14.0)	1503
2004	320	(-14.0)	564	(14.0)	884

Answer 1

TS = 197

p-value = 0.0000

p-value < alpha

hence we reject the null hypothesis

we conclude that there is evidence that variables are not independent
