Bivariate Analysis - Crosstabs

Being the wonderful evidence-based practitioner that you are, you want to test whether Intervention A or Intervention B is more effective in preventing high school dropout at the school where you work. Twenty-six students participated in Intervention A and 35 participated in Intervention B. Of the 26 in Intervention A, 5 dropped out of high school and 21 graduated. For Intervention B, 12 of the students dropped out of school.

What is the independent variable? What level of measurement is this?

What is the dependent variable? What level of measurement is this?

What analysis is used?
