Question

A recent study of undergraduates looked at gender differences in dieting trends. There were 188 women and 105 men who participated in the survey. The table below summarizes whether a student tried a low-fat diet or not by gender:

		Gender
Tried low-fat diet		Women		Men
Yes		40		9
No

(a) Fill in the missing cells of the table.

		Gender
Tried low-fat diet		Women		Men
Yes		40		9
No

(b) Summarize the data numerically. What percent of each gender has tried low-fat diets? (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

women	%
men	%

(c) Test that there is no association between gender and the likelihood of trying a low-fat diet. (Round your χ² to three decimal places, and round your P-value to four decimal places.)

χ2	=
df	=
P-value	=

Summarize the results.

There is strong evidence at the 5% level that gender and the likelihood of trying a low-fat diet are related.There is no evidence at the 5% level that gender and the likelihood of trying a low-fat diet are related.    

Answer 1

Answer Given data A recent study of undergraduates looked at gender difference in dieting trends. There were 188 women and 105 men who participated in the survey. The table below summarizes whether a student tried a low fat diet or not by gender. (b) summarize the data numerically, what of each gender has tried low fat diets. That is we reject null hypothesis and accept null hypothesis. There is no evidence at the 5% hence that gender and the likelihood of trying a low fat diet are related
