a) Construct a bivariate table of frequencies for race and victimization. Which is the
independent variable?

Table 1: Race and victimization

Victimization
chi2 p-value
Race
Yes, n (%) No, n (%) Total, n (%) 0.5079 0.476
White, n (%)
8 (50.00) 8 (50.00) 16 (50.00)
Non-White, n (%)
6 (37.50) 10 (62.50) 16 (50.00)
Total, n (%)
14 (43.75) 18 (56.25) 32 (100.00)
Victimization is the independent variable. Normally, the independent variable is placed in the
column section while the dependent variable occupies the row parts in a table, (Nicholson, Vanli,
Jung, & Ozguven, 2019). Given the fact that p-value is greater than 0.05, the null hypothesis is
accepted indicating that there is no statistically significant association between race and
victimization.

b) Construct a bivariate table of frequencies for class and victimization. Which is the
independent variable?

Table 2: Class and victimization

Victimization
chi2 p-value
Class
Yes, n (%) No, n (%)
Total, n
(%)
5.7765 0.016
Middle, n (%)
9 (69.23) 4 (30.77) 13 (40.63)
Working, n (%)
5 (26.32) 14 (73.68) 19 (59.38)
Total, n (%)
14 (43.75) 18 (56.25) 32 (100.00)
Similarly, victimization is the independent variable and it is placed in the column section while
the dependent variable occupies the row parts in a table. Given the fact that p-value is less than
0.05, the null hypothesis is rejected indicating that there is a statistically significant association
between class and victimization.

c) Construct two bivariate tables: one table examining the victimization experienced by the race
of those who are middle class and one table examining the victimization experienced by the
race of those who are working class.

Table 3: Victimization experience by the race of those who are middle class

Victimization
chi2 p-value
Race
Yes, n (%) No, n (%)
Total, n
(%)
4.9524 0.026
White, n (%)
0 (0.00) 6 (66.67) 6 (46.15)
Non-White, n (%)
4 (57.14) 3 (42.86) 7 (53.85)
Total, n (%)
9 (69.23) 4 (30.77) 13 (40.63)
Given the fact that p-value is smaller than 0.05, the null hypothesis is rejected indicating that
there is a statistically significant association between the race of those who are in the middle
class and victimization.

Table 4: Victimization experience by the race of those who are working class.

Victimization
chi2 p-value
Race
Yes, n (%) No, n (%) Total, n (%) 0.4343 0.51
White, n (%)
8 (80.00) 2 (20.00) 10 (52.63)
Non-White, n (%)
6 (66.67) 3 (33.33) 9 (47.37)
Total, n (%)
14 (73.68) 5 (26.32) 19 (100.00)
Given the fact that p-value is greater than 0.05, the null hypothesis is accepted indicating that
there is no statistically significant association between the race of those who are in working-class
and victimization, (Heilmann, & Kahn, 2019).
