Do the data show that educational attainment and age are independent?  Test at the 5% level.

 (iv)  Are any of the expected frequency values (for which HO is true) for any cell in your table less than 5?  Calculate the expected frequencies using technology, the select most correct answer:

A.  yes - this will not affect results of hypothesis test

B.  yes - this may invalidate results of hypothesis test

C.  no - this will not affect results of hypothesis test

D.  no - this may invalidate results of hypothesis test

Enter letter corresponding to correct answer.  Recommend using (Chi-Square Test of Independence Applet) to create contingency table of expected and observed frequency values in order to answer this question.

 

 
 
 

 

 (v)  Using calculator, spreadsheet, or online calculator, determine test statistic:

Enter value to nearest integer.
