I donıt use nonparametrics very often and am having difficulty with what I
assume is a basic problem.

Scenario:  Study of  helping behavior under 2 crossed conditions:  Gender
and Risk.  Data are setup like so:

Gender      Risk        Help?

M               High        No
M               High        No
M               Low         Yes
M               Low         Yes
F               High        Yes
F               High        Yes
F               Low         Yes
F               Low         Yes


First, is this the proper way to setup the data?  Second, what is the proper
nonparametric test for this scenario?  I am most interested in an
interaction between Gender and Risk, if that is even possible.  Otherwise,
whatever will help identify main effects of gender and risk on helping
behavior. 

FWIW, Iım using v11.04 for the Mac with advanced modules installed.

TIA,

Fred
