For your final project, you will need to be able to fully interpret an analysis of qualitative data using one- and two-way 2 tests. This activity will help prepare you to complete this project successfully because youll get to practice the skill of interpreting output from such tests.
Below are some two-way tables from the General Social Survey that look at the relationship between individuals self-reported class identification (Lower, Working, Middle, or Upper class) and whether they feel safe to walk at night in their neighborhood (Yes or No).
One-Way Chi-Square Test

One-way chi-square test result: 2(1) = 1609.99, p <.001
