Question: A correctional administrator wants to compare the prevalence of recidivism between two facilities. One facility has been experimenting with a new form of cognitive behavioral treatment over the past year, while the other facility has used traditional correctional treatment programs (i.e., group counseling). The administrator has access to which program 100 clients have been placed in (0 = traditional program, 1 = new program), and the prevalence of recidivism for all 100 clients (0 = no arrest, 1 = arrest). Using the information below, examine whether there is a significant association between treatment assignment and the prevalence of recidivism. Show your work and make sure that you apply the steps of hypothesis testing for chi-square.
