Question 5: The following table of raw frequencies can be 'used to test this hypothesis: In a comparison of individuals, people with lower levels of education will express stronger support for the death penalty than will people with higher levels of education.

                                                                                      Support for death penalty

Education                            High school or less                some college                      College or higher

Not Strong                              47                                            43                                       56

Strong                                   49                                            50                                       35

A.  Consider the way the table is arranged. If the hypothesis is correct, should we find a positive sign on Somers' dyx or a negative Signon Somers' dyx? Explain how you know.

B. Calculate Somers' dyx for this table. Show your work. On a sheet of paper, label three columns: Concordant pairs (C), Discordant pairs (D), and Tied pairs (Ty-Work your way through the table, recording and computing each concordant pair, discordant pair, and tied pair.

C. Examine the value of Somers' dyx that you calculated in B. Exactly what does this value tell you about your ability to predict death-penalty opinions using education as a predictive instrument?

D.State whether the relationship is weak, moderate, moderately strong, or strong.
