Gender of Asylum Seeker	Yes	No
Male	5	4
Female	8	7

Enter this information into SPSS. Use this information to answer questions #4 - #7.

Question 4

Group of answer choices

Null Hypothesis

      [ Choose ]            There is no true relationship between gender and amnesty.            There is a true relationship between gender and amnesty.      

Research (Alternative) Hypothesis

      [ Choose ]            There is no true relationship between gender and amnesty.            There is a true relationship between gender and amnesty.      

Question 5

What is the value of chi-square?

Question 6

What is the associated probability?

Question 7

Group of answer choices

True

False

Answer 1

Null Hypothesis : There is no true relationship between gender and amnesty.  

Research (Alternative) Hypothesis:  There is a true relationship between gender and amnesty.    

5)

Applying chi square test of independence:

Expected	Ei=row total*column total/grand total	Yes	No	Total
	male	4.875	4.125	9
	female	8.125	6.875	15
	total	13	11	24
chi square    χ2	=(Oi-Ei)2/Ei	Yes	No	Total
	male	0.003	0.004	0.0070
	female	0.002	0.002	0.0042
	total	0.0051	0.0061	0.0112
test statistic X2 =		0.0112

Question 6

associated probability =0.9158

Question 7 :
