Imagine you conducted a study to look at the association between whether an expectant mother eats breakfast (or not) and the gen
der of her baby. Cramér's V = .22. How would you interpret this value? (Hint: Cramér's V can range between 0 and 1.) There was a small to medium association between baby gender and whether the mother ate breakfast every day. 22% of the variation in frequency counts of baby gender (boy or girl) can be explained by whether or not the mother ate breakfast every day. 2.2% of the variation in frequency counts of baby gender (boy or girl) can be explained by whether or not the mother ate breakfast every day. There is a medium to large association between the gender of the baby and whether or not the mother ate breakfast every day.
: The percentage of newborn infants who are exclusively breastfed at the time of hospital discharge.
