Hi,

 

In question 2 of the homework we are asked -

"Using the data in Stata, perform chi squared analyses to determine if male and race …. are similar in cases and controls”

 

Could anyone explain what does similar mean  in the context of the question?

 

Thank you

It means: do the cases and controls differ in the proportion in each sex or race category?  Is case status independent of sex or race?
