You may make notes on this sheet of paper and download a fresh copy from the class materials page, key in the
correct answers, and print that out in the lab WITH YOUR NAME ON IT. Your final submission MUST
BE DONE IN YOUR HANDWRITING, PENCIL OR PEN. I won’t accept any homework done with a
word processor.
*** denotes questions you can answer on your own outside class
First, create Frequencies Tables for all Variables (except id#). Then answer the *** questions.
1.
Cross Tabulation: Is there any relationship between gender and who respondents are rooting for in the
World Series (remember if the significance of Chi-Square statistic is < .05, answer is yes)? Interpret.
chi-square = ____________
significance / probability = _________
