Individuals with strong religious beliefs often turn to their faith to cope with stressful life events. Relying on God's love and caring is referred to as positive religious coping. Andrea Phelps and her colleagues studied the relationship between positive religious coping and the type of care received by terminally ill cancer patients. Most of the patients in the study were Christian. Suppose another researcher conducts a similar study, but uses a sample of patients whose religious traditions are more varied than the patients in the Phelps study. She samples 300 terminally ill patients to see whether their practicing a religion is related to how likely they are to have a living will. The following table shows the results of the study. Living Will(Yes). Living Will(No) Practices Religion(Yes). 90 69 Practices Religion(No) 90 51 Find the chi-square test statistic. Select one: A. 21.6 B. 1.63 C. 3.81 D. 0.82 E. None of above
