6.36 Diabetes and unemployment:  A 2012 Gallup poll surveyed Americans about their employment status and whether or not they have diabetes.

(a) Create a two-way table presenting the results of this study.

  Diabetes No Diabetes
Employed ________ __________
Unemployed ________ ___________


(b) State appropriate hypotheses to test for independence of incidence of diabetes and employment status.

( ) H0: μdiabetesemployed
     Ha: μdiabetes ≠ μemployed

( ) H0: Diabetes status and employment status are independent
     Ha: Diabetes status and employment status are not independent

( ) H0: Diabetes status and employment status are dependent
     Ha: Diabetes status and employment status are not dependent

(c) The sample difference is about 1%. If we completed the hypothesis test, we would find that the p-value is very small (about 0), meaning the difference is statistically significant. Use this result to explain the difference between statistically significant and practically significant findings.

( ) Being unemployed causes people to get diabetes at a higher rate
