Question

A corrections researcher was interested in gender differences in the likelihood of an arrestee making bail.  She recorded the dollar amount in cases where a bail bond was set and recoded whether the defendant was able to get out of jail (make bail). Her data are shown below:

Men                                              Women    $  Made Bail                     $       Made Bail

1000  yes                      500   Yes

300  yes                        250  no

1500  yes                      250  no

200  yes                         200  no

500  no                          500   yes

150  yes                          250  no

1000  no                          100  no

500   yes                          150  no

1200  yes                           250   no

 

  1. Test the Null Hypothesis that there are no gender differences in dollar amounts for bail.
  2. Test the null hypothesis that the proportions of men and women who are released from jail does not differ.

Use p=.05 to test the null hypothesis.

For each test of the Null hypothesis report standard error of the difference between means or proportions, the obtained t, the degrees of freedom, and whether you accept or reject the null hypothesis.
