Chapter 10, Problem 37SE

Gender and Happiness of Marriage The table shows the results of a two-way table of gender and whether a person is happy in his or her marriage, according to data obtained from a General Social Survey.

Happiness of Marriage $\times$ Respondent’s Sex Cross Tabulation Count

a. If we carry out a test to determine whether these variables are associated, is this a test of independence, homogeneity, or goodness of fit?

b. Do a chi-square test with a significance level of $0.05$ to determine whether gender and happiness of marriage are associated.

c. Does this suggest that women and men tend to have different levels of happiness or that their rates of happiness in marriage are about equal?
