Consumer credit and its affecting variables

The null hypothesis of this test is that there is no relationship between gender and housing status. To perform this test we must run a crosstabulation between the two variables (SEX/TENURE). The rows of the crosstab will include the gender of the population, and the columns will include the current housing status. We must notify our program (SPSS) to run the Chi squared test, and to include Observed counts, Expected counts, and row and column percentages. This will allow us to have all the information necessary to prove our hypothesis.
             After running the tests, it appears that there is enough information to come to an informed decision about or hypothesis that women are more unlikely to own a home or home mortgage than a man. The tables below were used to test our hypothesis.

             When talking about the Chi Squared test, we must pay attention to the significance level. If this significance level is less than 5% than we must reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis that there is a relationship between a people's gender and their current housing situation. In this case, the observed significance value is .
