In Health Education Research (Feb. 2005), nutrition scientists at Deakin University (Australia) investigated children's per- ceptions of their environments. Each in a sample of 147 ten-year-old children drew maps of their home and neighborhood environment. The researchers examined the maps for certain themes (e.g., presence of a pet, television in the bedroom, opportunities for physical activity). The results, broken down by gender, for two themes (presence of a drawing TV in the bedroom) are shown in the next two tables.
a. Find the sample proportion of boys who drew a dog on their maps.
b. Find the sample proportion of girls who drew a dog on their maps.
c. Compare the proportions you found in parts a and b. Does it appear that the likelihood of drawing a dog on the neighborhood map depends on gender?
d. Give the null hypothesis for testing whether the likelihood of a drawing a dog on the neighborhood map depends on gender.
e. Use the MINITAB printout below to conduct the test mentioned in part d at α = .05.
f. Conduct a test to determine whether the likelihood of drawing a TV in the bedroom is different for boys and girls. Use α = .05.
