Asample of 161children was selected from fourth and fifth graders at elementary schools in philadelphia. in addition to recording the grade level, the researchers determined whether each child had a previously undetected reading disability. sixty-six children were diagnosed with a reading disability. of these children, 32 were fourth graders and 34 were fifth graders. similarly, of the 95 children with normal reading achievement, 55 were fourth graders and 40 were fifth graders.
a. identify the two qualitative variables (and corresponding levels) measured in the study.
b. from the information provided, form a contigency table.
c. assuming that the two variables are independent, calculate the expected cell counts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a sample of 161children was selected from fourth and fifth graders at elementary schools in Philadelphia. In addition to recording the grade level, the researchers determined whether each child had a previously undetected reading disability

a) The two qualitative variables are disability and not having disability and secondly the grades of children

b) Contingency table:

Grade                  4                5                      Total

Normal read.       32              34                        66

Not normal read.  23                6                        29  

Total                      55             40                         95

H0: Reading disability is independent of grade.

Ha: There is association between the two

c)  45Total

Not norm16.7894736812.2105263229

Expected cells are obtained using the formula

row total*col total/grand total

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
