In a study of violent victimization of women and men, Porcerelli et al. (A-11) collected information from 679 women and 345 men ages 18 to 64 years at several family-practice centers in the metropolitan Detroit area. Patients filled out a health history questionnaire that included a question about victimization. The following table shows the sample subjects cross-classified by gender and whether the subject self-identified as being “hit, kicked, punched, or otherwise hurt by someone within the past year.” Subjects answering yes to that question are classified “violently victimized.”

Use logistic regression analysis to find the regression coefficients and the estimate of the odds ratio.
