Question 1
In order to determine what the opinions of sport enthusiasts of different genders’ were about
team SA’s performance at the Olympic Games before the start of the Games, a random
sample of 200 sport enthusiasts were asked how many gold medals the team will bring back.
The results are given in the following table with some of the expected frequencies, calculated
under the assumption that gender and opinion are independent, in brackets.
Number of medals Total
1 2 More than 2 medals
Gender Male 40 (35) 40 (35) 20 (𝑒 30 100
Female 30 (35) 30 (35) 40 (𝑒 30 100
Total 70 70 60 200
Complete the contingency table to test, at a 5% level, if there is an association between
gender and the opinion of sport enthusiasts. Use the critical value as well as the p-value
approach.
