a, b, and c

10.25 Purchasing souvenirs. A major tourist activity is shopping.
Travel researchers estimate that nearly one-third of total
UVNR travel expenditures are used on shopping for souvenirs
(Journal of Travel Research, May 2011). To investigate the
impact of gender on souvenir shopping, a survey of 3,200
tourists was conducted. One question asked how often the
tourist purchases photographs, postcards, or paintings of
the region visited. Responses were recorded as “Always,"
"Often," “Occasionally," or "Rarely or Never." The table
shows the percentages of tourists responding in each cat-
egory, by gender.

think male and female tourists differ in their responses
to purchasing photographs, postcards, or paintings? Why
are these percentages alone insufficient to draw a conclu-
sion about the true response category proportions?
b. Assume that 1,500 males and 1,700 females partici-

percentages in the table to compute the counts of tour-
ists in each of the Response/Gender categories. This
represents the contingency table for the study.
c. Specify the null and alternative hypotheses for test-
ing whether male and female tourists differ in their
responses to purchasing photographs, postcards, or

d. An SPSS printout of the contingency table analysis is
shown below. Locate the test statistic and p-value on
the printout.
e. Make the appropriate conclusion using a = .01.
