For Table 7.13, let Y = belief in life after death, x₁= gender (1 = females, 0 = males), and x₂= race (1 = whites, 0 = blacks). Table 7.14 shows the fit of the model  log(Ï€_j/Ï€₃) = α_j+ β_j^Gx₁+ β_j^Rx₂, j = 1, 2,

with SE values in parentheses.

Table 7.13:

Table 7.14:

a. Find the prediction equation for log(Ï€₁/Ï€₂).

b. Using the yes and no response categories, interpret the conditional gender effect using a 95% confidence interval for an odds ratio.

c. Show that for white females, π̂₁ = PÌ‚(Y = yes) = 0.76.

d. For this fit, G² = 0.9. Explain why residual df = 2. Deleting the gender effect, G² = 8.0. Test whether opinion is independent of gender, given race. Interpret.
