Question 1:

female 27.25% 72.75% 100.00%
male 80.90% 19.10% 100.00%

Only 38.20% of Titanic passengers survived, while 61.80% of passengers did not survive.
Of all survivors, 72.75% were female and 19.10% were male.

The probability that the differences in variables from actual values and expected values could
occur by chance is significantly small, so close to zero that it is virtually impossible.
It is obvious from the data that women were given preferential treatment in surviving.

groups show there was bias in selecting who survived, and from which age groups.

The probability that the differences in variables from actual values and expected values could
occur by chance is significantly small, so close to zero that it is virtually impossible.
It is obvious from the data that passengers from Cherbourg and Queenstown were given
preferential treatment and survived at a higher rate than they should’ve if left to chance.

Grand Total 100.00% 100.00% 100.00%

Data shows that only 35.6% of passengers were female, and that about one in four females boarded the ship
from Cherbourg. 41% of all passengers to board from Cherbourg were female, which may suggest why that
specific port of embarkment saw such significantly higher survival rates.

Grand Total 100.00% 100.00% 100.00% 100.00%

The data also shows that over half of all first-class passengers boarded from the Cherbourg port, which would
be a good indication of why that specific port of embarkment saw significantly higher survival rates.
Passengers of higher status and wealth survived at a higher rate than those in second or third-class. Since more
first-class passengers boarded from Cherbourg, it is not surprising the port had such elevated survival rates.
