n incurable 11.6 SOC A small sample of non-English-speaking im- Totals 1132 644 1776 migrants to the United States has been interviewed about their level of assimilation. Is the pattern of adjustment affected by length of residence in the United States? For each table compute gamma and summarize the relationship in terms of strength and direction. a. English fluency lic schools by Length of Residence English Less Than Five More Than Five Fluency Years (Low) Years (High) Totals High Totals 20 5 25 10 15 25 30 20 50 males Totals 900 1585 134 1034 1821 b.

Extent of contact with country of origin race/ethnicity Length of Residence

Explanation / Answer

a)
Ns = 20 * 15 = 300
Nd = 10 *5 = 50

gamma = (Ns - Nd )/(Ns + Nd)
=(300-50)/(300+50)
= 250/350
=5/7
= 0.714285
relation is moderate and positive

b)
Ns = 18*17 =306
Nd = 8*7 =56
gamma = (306-56)/(306+56)
= 0.69060
relation is moderate and positive

c)
Ns = 5 *5 = 25
Nd = 20*20 = 400
gamma =(25-400)/(25+400)
= -0.88235

relation is strong and negative
