daenerys concluded that the message encouraging women to reply must have worked because 5 % more women answered this poll. But this could just as well have happened if the same women answered again while less men did.
Therefore I wanted to know if more women actually answered this one.
The answer to that question is no: 92 women responded to the census.
We can’t say anything about “more women answering” or “fewer men answering” when we are comparing to a survey that has both more women and more men than this one. (If you weren’t talking about absolute numbers, then all we have is the 8% vs. 13% which only tells us that at least one of “more women” and “fewer men” is true.)
A better comparison would be to one of the other polls with a similar number of responders (i.e. one in Discussion), but I couldn’t find one that recorded gender. (a list of “polls” and of “surveys”)
No, that is not what I meant.
