Pivoted Ratios Table

The ratios table is now pivoted so that statistics are easier to compare across counties.

  • The ratio estimates range from a low of 1.195 in the Southern county to a high of 1.524 in the Western county.
  • There is also quite a bit of variability in the standard errors, which range from a low of 0.029 in the Southern county to 0.068 in the Eastern county.
  • Some of the confidence intervals do not overlap; thus, you can conclude that the ratios for the Western county are higher than the ratios for the Northern and Southern counties.
  • Finally, as a more objective measure, note that the significance values of the t tests for the Western and Southern counties are less than 0.05. Thus, you can conclude that the ratio for the Western county is greater than 1.3 and the ratio for the Southern county is less than 1.3.
