(assume a significance level of $alpha = 0.05$) complete parts a) through e) below.\na) is this a test of homogeneity or independence?\nindependence\nhomogeneity
Answer
# Brief Explanations:
In a test of independence, we check if two categorical variables (here gender and political - party affiliation) are related. In a test of homogeneity, we compare the distribution of a single categorical variable across different populations. Since the researcher is wondering if gender and party affiliation are not independent, this is a test of independence.
# Answer:
Independence
