The chief psychologist at a state prison has developed a rehabilitation program for inmates convicted of violent crimes against females. All of the prisoners have been rated on the frequency of their attendance at sessions (the program is voluntary) and have completed a battery of tests which measures their level of hostile and aggressive feelings towards females. Are less hostile attitudes associated with frequent attendance at sessions? Does the program work?

Calculate percentages and a measure of association for the table. Choose a measure of association appropriate for these variables. Characterize the relationship in terms of the existence, strength, and pattern or direction of the relationship in a paragraph. To further test the nature of the association between attendance at the program and hostility towards women, the investigator controlled for the age of the inmates. For each partial table below, compute percentages and a measure of association and interpret the pattern of relationships.
