Happy the elf (who is a male elf) tells you that one of the reasons he’s so happy is that the sex ratio of elves working at the North Pole is “two girls for every boy”2 . Slartibartfast, another elf, claims that Happy’s name should be “Delusional” because the proportion of female elves is much lower than Happy claims. You decide to test Happy’s claim by simply tallying the sex of each of the next 100 elves who walk by you on their way to work. How many male elves out of the 100 would it take for you to reject (at α = .05) Happy’s claim and find in favour of Slartibartfast? Show how you have calculated your answer.

Women's involvement in physical activity and sports was often limited due to medical rhetoric that associated women's reproductive systems with weakness and fragility. What are some examples of this found in this week's lecture and reading. What impact does this history of medical/reproductive barriers still have on girls and women today? These early held beliefs about human reproduction still influences our language today - "that person has balls" versus "that person is a pussy" has opposite meanings where the male reproductive system is associated with strength while the female reproductive system is associated with weakness. Are there other examples of how this thinking impacts our lives perhaps without us realizing it until now?
