Suppose researchers surveyed a sample of college students to assess the association between attendance at rock concerts and the development of hyperacusis, or extreme sensitivity to certain sounds. Their data contain about four times more women than men, so they decide to analyze the genders separately. They obtain estimated odds ratios of approximately 2 for both women and men, but the respective p-values are 0.01 and 0.15. Which of the following statements is true?
a. Their results, as presented, do not allow one to directly compare the associations across genders. b. Their results, as presented, provide evidence that the associations between attendance at rock concerts and hyperacusis differs for women and men. c. Their results, as presented, provide evidence that the associations between attendance at rock concerts and hyperacusis are similar for women and men.
