In the late summer of 2008, a brief war broke out between thetwo countries—Russia and Georgia. Suppose you are a researcherinterested in nationalistic attitudes in these two countries. Youdecided to use data from the World Values Survey, which isavailable at the following URL: http://www.worldvaluessurvey.org/.The data of interest are presented below on Russianrespondents.
| Age |
Proud of Nationality? | 15–29 | 30–49 | 50+ |
Very proud | 738 | 132 | 279 |
Quite proud | 940 | 227 | 388 |
Not very proud | 523 | 133 | 238 |
Not proud at all | 194 | 47 | 83 |
Return to the original data. Exactly 940 persons between theages of 15 and 29 indicated that they were “quite proud†of theirnationality. Suppose for the moment that only 840 persons betweenthe ages of 15 and 29 were “quite proud†of their nationality.Keeping the other cells as they were originally, recalculate thevalue of the chi-square statistic and determine whether it isstatistically significant. Explain why adjusting only one cell inQuestion #10 resulted in a different conclusion.
