Question

You will examine the scenario below, choose a categorical data analysis and run a sample test.

You wish to determine whether a relationship exists between citizen trust in police and whether respondents reside in rural, urban or semi-urban settings? Using Afrobarometer 2015, please provide: a 1–2 APA style paragraph statement that furnishes an answer to this question, note the relevant statistics, comment on meaningfulness, and include your relevant SPSS output. In addition, please comment on what could be influencing the results you obtained.

The data I gathered is below...

Explanation / Answer

Ho: Type of sampling unit will no be significantly associated with trust police

against

H1:Type of sampling unit will be significantly associated with trust police

In the given SPSS output no expected cell frequency is <5. Therefore we consider the pearson chi-square value and the corresponding 'p' value

Pearson chi-square value = 877.477; p-value = 0.000; d.f. = 6

Here p<0.01. Hence we reject Ho.

Conclusion: There was an enough evidence that type of sampling unit was significantly associated with trust police.

For chi-square analyses, the effect sizes are phi () or Cramer’s V . Here the effect size is small.
