Question: In a classic study, Milgram et al. "lost" stamped envelopes with fictitious addresses (Medical Research Association, Personal Address, Friends of Communist Party, and Friends of Nazi Party)* One hundred letters with each address were distributed among four locations (shops, cars, streets, and phone booths) in New Haven Connecticut, with the following results:

ADDRESS RETURNED NOT RETURNED TOTAL

Medical Research Association 72 28 100

Personal Address 71 29 100

Friends of Communist Party 25 75 100

Friends of Nazi Party 25 75 100

Total 193 207 400

CHI-SQUARE ( X 2) TEST FOR QUALITATIVE DATA

1. Using the .05 level of signifi cance, test the null hypothesis that address does not matter in the underlying population.
2. Specify the approximate p -value for this result.
3. Assuming c2 is signifi cant, estimate the strength of this relationship.
4. How might these results be reported in the literature?
5. Collapse the original 4 x 2 table to a 2 x 2 table by combining the results for the two neutr al addresses and for the two infl ammatory addresses. Calculate the odds ratio for returned letters.
