Get started for freeGirls and Boys. One probability model for child gender is that a boy or a girl is equally likely to be born. If that model is correct, then, for a two-child family, the probabilities are 0.25,0.50, and 0.25 for two girls, one girl and one boy, and two boys, respectively. W. Stansfield and M. Carlton examined data collected in the National Health Interview Study on two-child families in the article "The Most Widely Published Gender Problem in Human Genetics" (Human Biology, Vol. 81, No. 1, pp. 3-11). Of 42,888 families with exactly two children, 9,523 had two girls, 22,031 had one girl and one boy, and 11,334 had two boys.
a) At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the distribution of genders in two-children families differs from the distribution predicted by the model described?
b) In view of your result from part (a), what conclusion can you draw?
In given exercise use either the critical-value approach or the P-value approach to perform a chi square independence lest. provided the conditions for using the test are met.
Diabetes in Native Americans. Preventable chronic diseases are increasing rapidly in Native American populations, particularly diabetes. F. Gilliland et al. examined the diabetes issue in the paper "Preventative Health Care among Rural American Indians in New Mexico" (Preventative Medicine, Vol. 28, pp. 194-202). Following is a contingency table showing cross-classification of educational attainment and diabetic state for a sample of 1273 Native Americans (HS is high school).
At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that an association exists between education level and diabetic state for native Americans?

Siskel In the classic TV show Sneak Previews, originally hosted by the late Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert, the two Chicago movie critics reviewed the weeks new movie releases and
then rated them thumbs up (positive), mixed, thumbs down (negative). These two critics often saw the merits of a movie differently. In general, however, were ratings given by Siskel and Ebert
associated? The answer to this question was the focus of the paper "Evaluating Agreement and Disagreement Among Movie Reviewers" by A. Agresti and L. Winner that appeared in Chance
(Vol- 10(2), pp-10-14). The following contingency table summarizes ratings by Siskel and Ebert for 160 movies.
At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that an association exists between ratings of Siskel and Ebert?
Step 1 of Procedure 13.2 gives generic statements for the null and alternative hypotheses of a chi-square independence test. Use the terms statistically dependent and statistically independent, introduced on page 496, to restate those hypotheses.
12.50 U.S. Hospitals. The American Hospital Association publishes 12.30 U.S. information about U.S. hospitals and nursing homes in Hospital Statistics. The following contingency table provides a cross classification of U.S. hospitals and nursing homes by type of facility and number of beds.
In the following questions, the term hospital refers to either a hospital or nursing home.
24 or fewer | 25-74 | 75 or more | Total | |
General | 260 | 1586 | 3557 | 5403 |
Psychiatric | 24 | 242 | 471 | 737 |
Chronic | 1 | 3 | 22 | 36 |
Tuberculosis | 0 | 2 | 2 | 4 |
Other | 25 | 177 | 208 | 410 |
Total | 310 | 2010 | 4260 | 6580 |
a. How many hospitals have at least 75 beds?
b. How many hospitals are psychiatric facilities?
c. How many hospitals are psychiatric facilities with at least 75 beds?
d. How many hospitals either are psychiatric facilities or have at least 75 beds?
e. How many general facilities have between 25 and 74 beds?
f. How many hospitals with between 25 and 74 beds are chronic facilities?
