Question

A researcher notes that there seems to be a difference in the prevalence of individuals who are medication adherent and have high levels of education along with a high health literacy and the prevalence of individuals who are not medication adherent and have low levels of education along with a low health literacy. Use the appropriate hypothesis to test for independence of two independent variables presented here at the 5% significance level to ensure confounding has not influenced the study’s results. Then interpret your response.

A) The chi square value of 6.437 is higher than the chi square value of 3.84, therefore we can reject H₀in favor of H_1,which states that an individual’s level of education and medication adherence status are not independent of one another.
B) The chi square value of 6.437 is higher than the chi square value of 3.84, therefore we can accept H₀and reject H_1,which states that an individual’s level of health literacy and medication adherence status are not independent of one another.
C) The chi square value of 6.437 is higher than the chi square value of 3.84, therefore we can accept H₀and reject H_1,which states that an individual’s level of education and level of health literacy status are not independent of one another.
D) The chi square value of 6.437 is higher than the chi square value of 3.84, therefore we can reject H₀in favor of H_1,which states that an individual’s level of education and health literacy status are not independent of one another.
