Interpreting the Sheriff Offices’ Chi-square
Below is a chi-square and Cramers V statistic from Maricopa Countys Sheriff Offices Annual Report (2014-2015). The tables tests the relationship between whether a driver had an item seized by that drivers race. The chi-square is significant, so a relationship exists.
What does this tell us about the organization? How does the Cramers V weigh in here?
