Question

To what extent do syntax textbooks, which analyze the structure of sentences illustrate gender bias? A study of this question s sentences from 10 texts. One part of the study examined the use of the words "girl, " "boy, " "man, " and "woman." We will call the first two words juvenile and the last two adult. Is the proportion of female references that are juvenile (girl) equal to the proportion of male references that are juvenile (boy)? Here are data from one of the texts: Find the proportion of juvenile references for females and its standard error. Do the same for the males. Give a 90% confidence interval for the difference. (Do not use rounded values. Round your final answers to three decimal places.) Use a test of significance to examine whether the two proportions are equal (Use p Round your value for 2 to two decimal places and round your P-value to four decimal places P-value State your conclusion There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the two proportions are different. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the two proportions are different.

Explanation / Answer

pf=48/57 =0.8421 ; n1=57

SEf=(pf(1-pf)/n1)1/2=0.0483

pm=54/130=0.4154

SEm=0.0432

b)for std error of difference =(SEf2+SEm2)1/2 =0.0648

for 90% CI, z=1.64485

hence confidence interval =mean +/- z*std error =0.3201 ; 0.5333

c) z value =(pf-pm)/std error =6.5839

p value =0.0000
