Teacher Ratings: Grades Professor Stone complains that student teacher ratings depend on the grade the student receives. In other words, according to Professor Stone, a teacher who gives good grades gets good ratings, and a teacher who goes had grades gets had ratings. To test this claim, the Student Assembly took a random sample of 300 teacher ratings on which the student's grade fur the course also was indicated. The results are given in the following table. Test the hypothesis that teacher ratings and student grades are independent at the 0.01 level of significance.

Rating	A	B	c	f (or withdrawal)	Row Total
Excellent	14	18	15	3	50
Average	25	35	75	15	150
Poof	21	27	40	12	100
Column Total	60	80	110	30	300
