Question

In a psychology experiment in which 100 volunteers were asked to read a paragraph about an engineer, 65 assumed that the engineer was male despite the fact that the paragraph did not specify gender (and avoided gendered pronouns such as “he” or “she”). If the null hypothesis here is that there is no gender bias, what is the two-sided p-value associated with this result? Use a normal approximation to solve this.

Hello! I was just looking here quick and found this. I haven't had statistics in a while, and it didn't all stick with me. I would look it up now, but it's late here and I shouldn't be up long.

But I advise that you ask this in the mathematics section. They have a dedicated statistics section as well. If you go to "Find More Subjects" at the top and find "Mathematics," click it, and look to the right for many blue rectangles with specialties like "Statistics," "Calculus I," "Geometry," and others. You can click "Statistics" and ask your question just like you did here.

The difference is, the people who look at your question in the math section are probably more likely to be able to help with statistics :)

This question is a statistical problem. I recognize it as that :) Good luck!
