Since the P-value > a, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Since the P-value > a, we reject the null hypothesis.
Since the P-value ≤ a, we reject the null hypothesis.
O Since the P-value sa, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
(e) Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.
O At the 1% level of significance, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that contribution level and ethnic group are not independent.
