Presidential Election. According to Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections, in the 2012 presidential election, 51.01%of those voting voted for the Democratic candidate (Barack H.

For that presidential election, does an association exist between the variables "party of presidential candidate voted for" and "state of residence" for those who voted? Explain your answer.

In each of Exercises 12.18-12.23, we have provided a distribution and the observed frequencies of the values of a variable from a simple random sample of a population. In each case, use the chi-square goodness-of-fit test to decide, at the specified significance level, whether the distribution of the variable differs from the given distribution.

Distribution: 0.2, 0.4, 0.3, 0.1

Observed frequencies: 85, 215, 130, 70

Significance level = 0.05

In each of the given Exercises, we have given the number of possible values for two variables of a population. For each exercise, determine the maximum number of expected frequencies that can be less than 5 in order that Assumption 2 of Procedure 12.2 on page 506 to be satisfied. Note: The number of cells for a contingency table with m rows and n columns is m⋅n.

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.

Fear of Gangs. In the article "Growing Pains and Fear of Gangs" (Applied Psychology in Criminal Justice, Vol. 5, No. 2, pp. 139-164), B. Brown and W. Benedict examined the relationship between worry about a gang attack and actually being a victim of a gang attack. Interviews of a sample of high school students yielded the following contingency table.
