Slide 1
42 females
were
fundamentalis
ts.
While a larger number of females were
fundamentalist, we cannot tell if females were
more likely to be fundamentalist because the
total number of females (146) was different
from the total number of males (107).
To answer the more likely question, we need
to compare percentages.

16.6% of the
cases were both
female and
fundamentalist.
59.2% of the
fundamentali
sts were
female.

33.6% of the
males were
moderates.
The label for the
percentage tells us that it
is computed within the
category for sex.

The percentage in
each column sums
to 100% in the total
row for columns
(the column

First, I
calculate the
odds for each
group (sex).
Second, I
calculate the
odds ratio, once
for the ratio of
group 1 (females)
to group 2
(males), and a
second time for
the ratio of group
2 (males) to
group 1
(females).
