Stats classes are always looking for interesting data. One place to look in YouGov. For example, they did a poll (Note: it is not clear how the sample was obtained but they do provide a sample size.) asking people if life is fair. Here are the results by gender.
- Do you think life is fair or not fair?
| % | TOTAL | Male | Female | |||
| Life is fair | 38 | 46 | 31 | |||
| Life is not fair | 46 | 40 | 51 | |||
| Not sure | 16 | 14 | 18 |
You are set for a statistical test comparing Male vs Female perception of life being fair or not. This now allows for a discussion of why women would respond differently than men. One extra bonus on the site is you can look at the same questions broken down by other categories including income. Go to the YouGov Results page to see the data they have.
