Question: Calculate and interpret lambda for the following bivariate table. Show all of your work.

SEX BY GOVERNOR’S APPROVAL RATING

Text Box: 	Female	Male	Total
Excellent	65	40	105
Good	30	35	65
Fair	10	55	65
Poor	5	10	15
Total	110	140	250



Solution: We get

Directional Measures
Value Asymp. Std. Errora Approx. Tb Approx. Sig.
Nominal by Nominal Lambda Symmetric .157 .062 2.418 .016
approval Dependent .103 .064 1.546 .122
gender Dependent .227 .082 2.469 .014
Goodman and Kruskal tau approval Dependent .067 .020 .000c
gender Dependent .144 .040 .000c
a. Not assuming the null hypothesis.
b. Using the asymptotic standard error assuming the null hypothesis.
c. Based on chi-square approximation

Hence, we get lambda = 0.157. Also, if the gender is known, we observe a decrease of 22.7% in the error, whereas if Approval is known we see a decrease of 10.3% in the error.

8) a) What does it mean if standard deviation = 0?
