Hi,

PLease refer to the attached file and help me understand how to conduct a chi test. The idea is to understand which gender is better to have and financially viable.

Help with any otehr analysis is also welcome.

I assume you are looking for a 2 x 2 contingency table. The rows are Male or Female, the columns are good or bad. Here is one of many internet links to information

An initital question though - is this for a college course or an actual application where you work?

Hi Steve,

This is actual office scenario.

I do not want to lok at a 2x2 contingency table but much more. The query is if I have to study both genders, 2 or more columns mentioned here then how big will the table get adn how can I interpret results. If anyone can explain to me a 3x3 table with the example here then I will manage the rest.

Regards,

Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) may be more applicable to this problem if you are going after multiple factors and their interactions.

There is an explanation of a 3x3 table here -> http://www.physics.csbsju.edu/stats/contingency.html
