Problem 13.1 concerned the assimilation of a small sample of immigrants. One table showed the relationship between length of residence in the United States and facility with the English language:

SOC bivariate relationship for Asian and Hispanic immigrants:

A. Asian Immigrants Length of Residence Less Than More Than English Five Years Five Years Facility (Low) (High) Totals Low 20 10 30 High 5 15 20 Totals 25 25 50 Length of Residence Less Than More Than English Five Years Five Years Facility (Low) (High) Totals Low 10 5 15 High 3 7 10 Totals 13 12 25 Length of Residence Less Than More Than English Five Years Five Years Facility (Low) (High) Totals Low 10 5 15 High 2 8 10 Totals 12 13 25 Length of Residence Less Than More Than English Five Years Five Years Facility (Low) (High) Totals Low 8 4 12 High 2 5 7 Totals 10 9 19 Length of Residence Less Than More Than English Five Years Five Years Facility (Low) (High) Totals Low 12 6 18 High 3 10 13 Totals 15 16 31 Population 65 and Older (%)

Low High Totals Low 45 20 65 High 10 25 35 Totals 55 45 100 Suicide Rate

a. If necessary, find the column percentages and compute gamma for this table. Describe the bivariate relationship in terms of strength and direction. Is the relationship between residence and language affected by the gender of the immigrant? Here are the partial tables showing the bivariate relationship for males and females:

A. Males B. Females

b. Find the column percentages and compute gamma for each of the partial tables. Compare these percentages and gammas with each other and with the bivariate table. Does controlling for gender change the bivariate relationship?

Is the relationship between residence and language affected by the origin of the immigrant? Here are the partial tables showing the B. Hispanic Immigrants

c. Find the column percentages and compute gamma for each of the partial tables. Compare these percentages and gammas with each other and with the bivariate table. Does controlling for the origin of the immigrants change the bivariate relationship?
