Problem 11.7 analyzed the bivariate relationships between political ideology, the independent variable, and five different dependent variables using only percentages. Now, with the aid of measures of association, these characterizations should be easier to develop. Compute a phi and a lambda for each table in problem 11.7. Compare the measures of association with your characterizations based on the percentages.

b. The death penalty


c. The legal right to commit suicide for people with incurable diseases


d. Support for traditional gender roles


e. Support for the legalization of marijuana
