Question

Each respondent in the Current Population Survey was classified as employed, unemployed or outside the labor force. The results for men in California age 35-44 are cross-tabulated by marital status:

	Married	Widowed, divorced, separated	Never married	Total
Employed	670	113	114
Unemployed	63	10	20
Not in labor force	42	28	25
Total

We are interested in these 2 categorical variables (marital status and labor force status) for this one sample, specifically we want to know if these two variables are associated.

Use the observed and expected counts to state the contribution to the chi-squared test statistic for the cell married and employed.
