Step 1- defining the variables

iv- gender (nominal)

dv- gym (nominal)

Step2 – setting null and alt hypothesis

Ho- there is no significant difference between the gym habit of males and females

H1- there is significant difference between the gym habit of males and females

Step 3- determining the appropriate statistical test

Since both variables are nominal scale and we cant find out mean value,

Therefore, chi- square test is used

Step 4- we have assumed the level of significance to be 5%

α = 0.05,

therefore, confidence level becomes 95%

step 5- set the decision rule p value

if p <= 0.05, accept H1

otherwise accept H0

step 6- calculations and reports generated through SPSS

gender * Do you go to gym? Crosstabulation


Count

a. 4 cells (100.0%) have expected count less than 5. The minimum expected count is 2.00.
b. Computed only for a 2x2 table

Step 7- conclusive findings

From the table we find that,

Pvalue is 1.000>0.05, therefore , null hypothesis is accepted

We conclude that there is no significant difference between the gym habit of males and females
