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