Which group shows the highest proportion saying that the greens are too fast?
The group of ---Select--- male female golfers shows a higher proportion saying that the greens are too fast, at .
(b)
Refer to the initial crosstabulations. For those players with low handicaps (better players), which group (male or female) shows the highest proportion saying the greens are too fast?
For those with low handicaps, the group of ---Select--- male female golfers shows a higher proportion saying that the greens are too fast, at .
(c)
Refer to the initial crosstabulations. For those players with higher handicaps, which group (male or female) shows the highest proportion saying the greens are too fast?
For those with high handicaps, the group of ---Select--- male female golfers shows a higher proportion saying that the greens are too fast, at .
(d)
What conclusions can you draw about the preferences of men and women concerning the speed of the greens? Are the conclusions you draw from part (a) as compared with parts (b) and (c) consistent? Explain any apparent inconsistencies.
In part (a), we determined that the proportion of male golfers who say the greens are too fast is ---Select--- less than the same as greater than that of female golfers. When we introduced a third variable, handicap, in parts (b) and (c), this conclusion ---Select--- stayed the same reversed when examining both handicap categories. This observation is an example of ---Select--- mutually exclusive events Bayes' theorem dependent events Simpson's paradox independent events .
