Directions: Conduct a chi-square test for independence to determine if the association between knowing someone on public assistance and views on social spending is statistically significant.

Choose the correct null and alternative hypotheses.
- H0: There is no association between knowing someone on public assistance and views on social spending.
  Ha There is an association between knowing someone on public assistance and views on social spending.
- H0: There is an association between knowing someone on public assistance and views on social spending.
  Ha There is no association between knowing someone on public assistance and views on social spending.
Correct
Compute the test statistic.

Complete the following table of expected counts. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places).

Yes No

Too little

About right

Too much

Compute the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

χ2=
Compute the p-value. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

p-value =
Interpret the results of the significance test.
- The p-value provides little evidence against the null hypothesis. The association between knowing someone on public assistance and attitudes towards social spending is not statistically significant. From a practical perspective, a person who knows someone on public assistance is 2.9 times more likely to believe that too little is spent on social needs.
- The p-value provides strong evidence against the null hypothesis. The association between knowing someone on public assistance and attitudes towards social spending is statistically significant.
