Question:
STEM programs and jobs. Refer to the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England (February 2019) survey of 10,000 high-school-age students, Exercise 10.14 (p. 612). Recall that each student was classified according to gender and which area of study they thought would most likely lead to a job in the future. The percentages (rounded) of males, females, and all students selecting each area are reproduced in the table. Conduct a test to determine if the distribution of percentages in the three study area categories differs for males and females. Use a = .10. (Assume a total of 5,000 males and 5,000 females were surveyed.)
