Describe any differences that are striking. There are no striking differences. Women have a noticeably higher percentage in the strictly voluntary category Women dominate every category O Men dominate every category (b) Find the proportion of men who volunteer. Do the same for women. Compute the relative risk of being a volunteer for females versus males. (Round your answer for relative risk to two decimal places.) Men Women Relative risk Write a clear sentence contrasting females and males using relative risk as your numerical summany Men and women participate equally A higher percentage of women were participants. A higher percentage of men were participants. none of the above

Explanation / Answer

(a) women have a noticeably higher percentage in the strictly voluntary category.

(b) proportion of men= 0.339

proportion of women= 0.429

Relative Risk= Ie/Iu

RR= (0.429/0.429+.571) / (0.339/0.339+0.661)

RR=1.265

(.) A higher percentage of women were participants.
