C8. GSS 2018 respondents were asked their views on teens (between the ages of 14 and 16) engaging in sex before marriage (TEENSEX). Responses are cross-tabulated by educational attainment (DEGREE).

1. What percentage of those surveyed felt teen sex was always wrong?

2. What percentage of those with less than a high school diploma felt teen sex was always wrong?

3. What percentage of those with a graduate degree felt teen sex was always wrong?

4. Interpret the gamma statistic.

5. Using chi-square, test the null hypothesis that DEGREE and TEENSEX are statistically independent. Set alpha at .05.
