Source: 1993 General Social Survey of U.S. Adults
* Based on alpha
.05 (95% confidence interval)
** Significance
is based on the chi-square test of independence.
A I am 95% confident the proportion of all U.S.
adults who favor requiring gun permits is 48% plus or minus 11.3% or between 37% to 59%.
B A statistically significant relationship between
sex and attitudes toward sex education in school is not evident (p > .05). Based on this random sample, you fail to find
convincing evidence that there is a relationship in the underlying population.
C There is a statistically significant relationship
between sex and attitudes toward gun permits (p < .05). Women are significantly more
likely (62%) to favor gun permits than men (33%).
D There is a weak to moderate association between sex
and attitudes toward gun permits based on a Cramer’s V of .282.
