Physician Specialty. According to the document Physician Specialty Data Book, published by the Association of American Medical Colleges, in 2010. 12.9%of active male physicians specialized in internal medicine and 15.3%of active female physicians specialized in internal medicine. Does an association exist between the variables "gender" and "specialty" for active physicians in 2010? Explain your answer.

In each of exercises 12.57-12.59, use the technology of your choice to solve the specified problems.

The Scottish Executive, Analytical Services Division Transport Statistics, compiles information on motorcycle accidents in Scotland. During one year, data on the number of motorcycle accidents, by day of the week and type of road (built-up or non built-up), are as presented on the WeissStats CD.
a. Group the bivariate data for these two variables into a contingency table.
b. Determine the conditional distribution of day of the week within each type-of-road category and the marginal distribution of day of the week.
c. Determine the conditional distribution of type of road within each day of the week and the marginal distribution of type of road.
d. Does an association exist between the variables "day of the week" and "type of road" for these motorcycle accidents? Explain your answer.

Primary Heating Fuel. According to Current Housing Reports, published by the U.S. Census Bureau, the primary heating fuel for all occupied housing units is distributed as follows.

Suppose that you want to determine whether the distribution of primary heating fuel for occupied housing units built after 2010 differs from that of all occupied housing units. To decide, you take a random sample of housing units built after 2010 and obtain a frequency distribution of their primary heating fuel.

a. Identify the population and variable under consideration here.

b. For each of the following sample sizes, determine whether conducting a chi-square goodness-of-fit test is appropriate and explain

your answers: 200; 300; 400.

c. Strictly speaking, what is the smallest sample size for which conducting a chi-square goodness-of-fit test is appropriate?

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?
