Identify two important operating standards that are routinelymeasured in your organization. These measures must meet thecriteria for qualitative, nominal measures. Observations must becross-classified into a contingency table. Obtain a sample thatwill produce at least five observations into each group of thecross-classification.
Purpose: To demonstrate theapplication of non-parametric tests in your organization.
Example: A standard measure thatfits these requirements is the human resource department’s employeetracking system. The director of human resources of my companywants to do a study to determine if there is a relationship betweenthe management status and gender of the employees. She creates acontingency table that has Male or Female categories for the rows,and Manager or non-manager categories for the columns. Then shecounts the number of female managers, female non-managers, malemanagers, and male non-managers and enters the numbers in thetable. This is the observed value table. Then she conducts thehypothesis test.
a) Perform thecross-classification of the two nominal variables into acontingency table.
b) Test the hypothesis thatthere is no relationship between the two variables.
c) Discuss the result andinterpretation of your hypothesis test
