Abstract

The team is transitioning from Tests of Association to Tests of Difference in this chapter. The team is wrestling with two tests that are used with only one sample. The two research questions that are addressed are as follows: (1) Is there a difference between the Probability that sex offenders will take medication and the Probability that sex offenders will not take medication? (2) Is there a difference between the Observed Frequency of sex offender registration and the Expected Frequency of offense for three registration categories: home address, conditional, and undisclosed? The first of these research questions is addressed by using the Binomial Test, and the second is addressed by using the Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Test. Despite some disturbing and politically hazardous news, the team must rally together to plow through these two research questions.
