The Student News Service at Clear Mountain State University (CMSU)

has decided to gather data about the undergraduate students that attend CMSU. CMSU
creates and distributes a survey of 14 questions and receives responses from 62
undergraduates (stored in the Survey.csv file).
Part I

-2.1. For this data, construct the following contingency tables (Keep Gender as
row variable)
-

-2.1.1. Gender and Major


-2.1.2. Gender and Grad Intention
-2.1.3. Gender and Employment
-2.1.4. Gender and Computer

-2.2. Assume that the sample is a representative of the population of CMSU. Based
on the data, answer the following questions:
-

-2.2.1. What is the probability that a randomly selected CMSU student will be
male?
-What is the probability that a randomly selected CMSU student will be female?
-

-2.2.2. Find the conditional probability of different majors among the male
students in CMSU.
-Find the conditional probability of different majors among the female students of
CMSU.
-

-2.2.3. Find the conditional probability of intent to graduate, given that the
student is a male.
-Find the conditional probability of intent to graduate, given that the student is
a female.
-

-2.2.4. Find the conditional probability of employment status for the male
students as well as for the female students.
-

-2.2.5. Find the conditional probability of laptop preference among the male
students as well as among the female students.

-2.3. Based on the above probabilities, do you think that the column variable in
each case is independent of Gender?
-Justify your comment in each case.Part II

-2.4. Note that there are three numerical (continuous) variables in the data set,
Salary, Spending and Text Messages. For each of them comment whether they follow a
normal distribution.
-Write note summarizing your conclusions.
-[Recall that symmetric histogram does not necessarily mean that the underlying
distribution is symmetric]
