Part II: Chi-Square Significance Testing (10 Points): In my dissertation, I predicted that Democrats & Republicans differed in terms of whether their families shared their own political beliefs. To test this relationship, I collected the following data & analyzed it using a cross-tab. Please use the data below to answer the following questions:
Does Family Share Political Values? * What is your gender? Cross-tabulation | |||||
What is your party? | Total | ||||
Democrat | Republican | ||||
Does Family Share Your Political Values? | Yes | Observed Count | 34 | 10 | 44 |
Expected Count | 27 | 17 | 44 | ||
Not Sure | Observed Count | 13 | 15 | 28 | |
Expected Count | 16 | 12 | 28 | ||
No | Observed Count | 19 | 20 | 39 | |
Expected Count | 23 | 16 | 39 | ||
Total | Observed Count | 66 | 45 | 111 | |
Expected Count | 66 | 45 | 111 |

If the critical value = 11.25, does the data indicate that you can reject the null hypothesis? Please explain to me what this means about the relationship between political affiliation & having a perception of shared family beliefs? (3 Points)
Part III - Association for Categorical Variables (4 Points): The following table lists and describes the variables used in an on-campus study of college students. Here is how each of these variables have been measured:
VARIABLE NAME | DESCRIPTION OF THE VARIABLE | CATEGORIES & CODING | MEASUREMENT LEVEL |
Class | What is your class level? | 1 = Freshman, 2 = Sophomore 3 = Junior, 4 = Senior | Ordinal |
Gender | What is your Gender? | 0 = Male, 1 = Female | Nominal (Dummy) |
Major | What is your Major? | 1 = Business 2 = Education 3 = Arts & Sciences 4 = Natural Sciences 5 = Undecided | Nominal |
GPA | Does student have a GPA higher than 3.0? | 0=No, 1=Yes
| Nominal (Dummy) |
Race | What is the race of the student? | 1=White 2=Black 3=Hispanic 4=Asian-American 5=Native American 6=Other | Nominal |
Self-Efficacy | I am fully able to be a successful college student | 2=Strongly Agree, 1=Agree, 0= Not Sure, 1=Disagree, -2=Strongly Disagree | Ordinal |
Now, for each possible bivariate relationship listed below, please tell me which statistic would use to appropriately measure their association by circling the correct choice.
1. What statistic would you use to find the association between Race & Major?
A) Cramer's V B) Gamma C) Kendall's Tau-b
2. What statistic would you use to find the association between Class & Self-Efficacy?
A) Cramer's V B) Gamma C) Kendall's Tau-b
3. What statistic would you use to find an association between Race & GPA?
A) Cramer's V B) Gamma C) Kendall's Tau-b
4. What statistic would you use to find an association between Gender & GPA?
