Question

To what extent do syntax textbooks, which analyze the structure of sentences, illustrate gender bias? A study of this question sampled sentences from 10 texts.23 One part of the study examined the use of the words "girl," "boy," "man," and "woman." We will call the first two words juvenile and the last two adult. Is the proportion of female references that are juvenile (girl) equal to the proportion of male references that are juvenile (boy)? Here are data from one of the texts:

Answer 1

Answer: Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer:

i) 0.8 ,   standard error =  0.0516

ii) 0.39,  standard error = 0.0425

Step-by-step explanation:

i) proportion of Juveniles reference for females ( f )

= x₁ / n₁ = 48 / 60 = 0.8

standard error = $\sqrt{\frac{0.8(1-0.8)}{60} }$  = 0.0516

ii) Proportion of Juveniles reference for males ( m )

= x₂ / n₂ = 52 / 132 = 0.39

standard error = $\sqrt{\frac{0.39(1-0.39)}{132} }$ = 0.0425
