A survey was used to collect data on the political attitudes of college students preceding the 2008 US national election. Data analysis was performed to determine whether males and females differed regarding their plans to vote in the election (the "plan for 2008 election" variable where yes indicates the student plans to vote, no indicates they do not plan to vote, and not sure indicates they have not decided if they will vote or not). The following outputs were obtained from a chi-square analysis: \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline \multirow{4}{*}{ Count } & \multirow{2}{*}{\multicolumn{5}{|c|}{\begin{tabular}{c} Gender * Plan for 2008 Election \\ Crosstabulation \end{tabular}}} & \multicolumn{4}{|c|}{ Chi-Square Tests } \\ \hline & & & & & & & & & Asymptotic \\ \hline & & Plan & or 2008 & Election & & Pearson Chi-Square & \( 1.578^{\mathrm{a}} \) & 2 & .454 \\ \hline & & Yes & No & Not Sure & Total & Likelihood Ratio & 1.576 & 2 & .455 \\ \hline Gender & Male & 68 & 19 & 11 & 98 & Linear-by-Linear & .032 & 1 & .859 \\ \hline & Female & 112 & 41 & 13 & 166 & Association & & & \\ \hline Total & & 180 & 60 & 24 & 264 & \( \mathrm{~N} \) of Valid Cases & 264 & & \\ \hline \end{tabular}
