One question concerns
A study of fathers’ involvement in their children’s education interviews a sample of fathers of school-age children. One question concerns regularly scheduled parent-teacher conferences. Here is a two-way table of the results:
|
|
Attended all |
Attended some but not all |
Attended none |
|
Fathers in two-parent families |
109 |
132 |
203 |
|
Fathers in single-parent families |
15 |
10 |
13 |
|
Non-resident fathers |
11 |
25 |
82 |
|
The chi-square statistic for this two-way table is χ2 = 54.8 with P-value < 0.001. We can conclude that |
|
|
|
|
A) |
there is very strong evidence that family status and fathers’ attendance at school conferences are related in the population of all fathers. |
|
|
B) |
there is very strong evidence that family status and fathers’ attendance at school conferences are related among the fathers in this sample. |
|
|
C) |
we lack strong evidence that family status and fathers’ attendance at school conferences are related in the population of all fathers. |
|
|
