Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show the relationship that lies in the fact of a person being right or left handed, in their skateboarding stance. Starting from the null hypothesis that there is no relationship, the Pearson's X^2 with Yates correction tests, as well as its respective p-value will be used to test the hypothesis. It will also be calculated and analyzed the residuals, Cramer's V and the Risk and Odds Ratios, with their respective confidence intervals to know the intensity of the association.
