A psychology researcher conducted a Chi-Square Test of Independence to examine whether there is a relationship between college students’ year in school (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior) and their preferred coping strategy for academic stress (Problem-Focused, Emotion-Focused, Avoidance). The test yielded the following result:

Interpret the results of this analysis. In your response, clearly explain:
Whether the result is statistically significant and why.
What this means about the relationship between year in school and coping strategy.
What the researcher should conclude based on these findings.
A school counselor is conducting a research study to examine whether there is a relationship between the number of times teenagers report vaping per week and their academic performance, measured by GPA. The counselor collects data from a sample of high school students. Write the null and alternative hypotheses for this study. Clearly state your hypotheses in terms of the correlation between vaping frequency and academic performance.

Three new Mazda, three new Toyota and three new Nissan cars were available for experimentation. During the experiment the cars would operate under same conditions in order to eliminate the effect of external variables on the distance travelled per litre on the assigned brand of petrol. The data is given as below: Brands of Petrol Mazda Toyota Nissan I 10.6 12.0 11.0 II 9.0 15.0 12.0 III 12.0 17.4 13.0 (a) Test at the 5% level of significance whether there are signi cant differences among the brands of fuels and also among the cars.
