Question

2. In a 2006 study, Gortmaker and Brown surveyed 80 lesbian and gay students at a large Midwestern state university to assess their experiences and their perceptions of the campus climate regarding lesbians and gays. One of the questions the researchers were interested in was whether a person's “outness” depended on his or her gender. All participants were classified as closeted or as out. The table depicts the number of students who were closeted or out as a function of their gender. Based on these data, does a person's “outness” depend on gender?
