Consider the following bivariate table showing the relationship between job satisfaction (low or high) and longevity, that is, the time working for the company (low = less than 2 years; high = 2 years or more), among workers for a fast-food chain:

	Job Satisfaction (X)
Longevity (Y)	Low	High	Totals
Low	14	41	55
High	24	28	52
Totals	38	69	107
	Gamma = -0.4302

The data in the table suggest that there is OPTION: A POSITIVE, NO, A NEGATIVE, A PERFECT association between job satisfaction and longevity.

The partial tables showing the bivariate relationship between job satisfaction and longevity after controlling for gender follow. Compute and select the correct value for gamma from the dropdown menu for each of these partial tables.

A. Men

	Job Satisfaction (X)
Longevity (Y)	Low	High	Totals
Low	8	37	45
High	4	17	21
Totals	12	54	66
	Gamma = OPTION: +,- 0.4302,0.4789,0.5211,0.0423,1.00

B. Women

	Job Satisfaction (X)
Longevity (Y)	Low	High	Totals
Low	6	4	10
High	20	11	31
Totals	26	15	41
	Gamma = OPTION: +,- 0.5479,0.4521,0.0959,0.4302,1.00

Compared with the bivariate table, the partial tables show OPTION: THE SAME, A STRONGER, A MIXED, OR A WEAKER relationship between X and Y. This is evidence of OPTION: A SPURIOUS OR INTERVENING, A FALLACIOUS, AN INTERACTIVE, A DIRECT relationship between the variables and implies that you should OPTION: INCORPORATE, ELABORATE, MODIFY, DISREGARD the variable Z (gender) in further analysis.

Since you found OPTION: A SPURIOUS OR INTERVENING, A DIRECT, AN INTERACTIVE, A FALLACIOUS relationship between X and Y, you can proceed to calculate the partial gamma GpGp. Follow and complete the steps that follow to calculate GpGp:

Step 1:Add up the values for NsNsfrom all partial tables. NsNs= OPTION: 136,404,66,202

Step 2:Add up the values for NdNdfrom all partial tables. NdNd= OPTION: 80,148,228,456

Step 3:Subtract NdNdfrom NsNs. NsNdNsNd= OPTION: -26,202,228,430

Step 4:Add NdNdto NsNs. Ns+NdNs+Nd= OPTION: 430,202,228,-26

Step 5:Divide the quantity you found in Step 3 by the quantity you found in Step 4 to find GpGp. GpGp= OPTION: 0.8860, 1.1287, -0.0605, -16.5385

The value of the partial gamma is OPTION: BETTER THAN, MUCH SMALLER THAN, MORE CONVINCING THAN, VERY CLOSE TO the value of the bivariate gamma G=0.4302G=0.4302. This OPTION: SURPASSES, CONFIRMS, CONTRADICTS, UNDERMINES the conclusion you drew from the partial tables about the relationship between job satisfaction and longevity.
