Is there a difference in fruit consumption between males and females? A researcher decided to put this hypothesis to the test. The researched surveyed a sample of 91 Health Science Major students and obtained information on their fruit consumption. Determine whether the proportion of females consuming 2 or more vegetables a day is significantly different from that of males.

Sex	Consume 2 or more servings of fruit daily?	Total
	YES	NO
Female	50	26	76
Males	7	8	15

1. What is the for females [Report your answer to3 decimal places]?

Yes Females: 50/76=0.658

No Females: 26/76=0.342

1. What is the for males [Report your answer to3 decimal places]?

Yes Males: 7/15=0.467

No Males: 8/15=0.533

1. Calculate the prevalence ratio [Report your answer to2 decimal places]?

Prevalence Ratio= 0.658/0.467=1.4089

=1.41

1. Is this a positive or negative association?

There is a positive association.

1. Does this represent an increase or decrease in the prevalence of consuming 2 or more servings a day of fruit in females compared to males?

This represents

1. Express this prevalence ratio as a percentage.

1.41%

Is the proportion of females consuming 2 or more daily servings of fruit significantly different from males? Use the 95% Confidence Interval.

1. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

H0: RR _________

HA: RR _________

1. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the prevalence ratio

1. A 95% Confidence Interval for PR was found to be _____________. Is the proportion of females consuming 2 or more fruit servings daily significantly different from the proportion of males?
2. Yes
3. No
4. Why or why not? [Explain in Detail]
