In the past, the phrase "women and children first" was both courtesy and in dangerous conditions..
That will certainly play a role in the Titanic disaster.
The research question of this item is: Do the data show that women and children clearly have more chance of survival than men?
In the list of names, each person is referred to as Miss, Mrs, Master or Mr (mister).
Miss is for a girl or unmarried woman, Mrs for a married woman, Master for a boy of 13 or younger and Mr for a man over 13. Hundreds of years ago, young people under the age of 14 were considered to be as a child.
In a customized dataset, the variable female / female + child is included in the category of female + child. In the variable gender there are three categories of men, women and children.
In the dataset not the age of every passenger is known. The age is necessary to determine who a child is. Therefore, the total in the crosstab is not always 1313.
Investigate the survival of children and of women + children.
The research question is whether you should conclude on the basis of the data that "women and children first" applied.
