I had no
direct information focusing on the number of males and females per zip
code. After more searching I was able to locate the numbers for gender
by race so I decided to see if they correlated. I decided to focus on
how gender and race together correlated with the AIDS rate.
At a 99%
confidence interval, the percentage of, white males, white females,
black males, and black females all correlated with the AIDS rate. The
correlation coefficients were as follows: white males, negative at
-0.489685; white females, also negative at -0.574806; black males,
positive at 0.532843; and black females, also positive at 0.510628. This
may be due to the fact that the AIDS rate is high within the black
community.
