question 34

Essay

Suppose a researcher was interested in learning more about high school seniors' concerns about the future. The researcher asks the 750 randomly selected female high school seniors and the 800 randomly selected male high school seniors to rate their level of concern with the following statement: I am (a) not at all concerned (b) somewhat concerned or (c) very concerned about getting accepted into a two or four year college. If we wanted to test whether there was an association between the response to the question and the gender of the high school senior, would this be a test of homogeneity or independence?
