Hi

A. Nice dataset for demonstrating contingency chi2 and goodness of fit chi2.  
Here's the analyses in SPSS.

data list free / gend assign freq.
begin data
1 1 8
1 2 6
2 1 2
2 2 33
end data.

weight by freq.

crosstabs /tables = gend by assign /stat = all.

gend * assign Crosstabulation

B. Two interesting questions implied by Ken's data, given significant effects 
shown above.

B1.  Why aren't males more motivated to  complete such assignments?

B2.  Why aren't psychology courses being chosen more equally by male and female 
students?

Take care

I just finished grading an easy *extra-credit* assignment. 
Completion of the assignment (a 1-page analysis of an 
advertisement) resulted in 0.5 point on the final grade.

Here are the results:
