Question

3. One method to determine an individual’s preferred mating strategy is to administer the Socio-sexual Orientation Inventory (SOI). High scores on this measure indicate greater interest in short-term mating whereas low scores indicate less interest in short-term mating.

e. Suppose that 20% of University students are currently pursing a short-term mating strategy (based on having an SOI score greater than 27). We then collect a sample of 60 University of Waterloo students and determine that 15% of them are pursuing a short-term strategy. Are Waterloo students less likely to pursue short-term mating compared to other university students? Determine the observed and expected frequencies associated with this test .
