The following table shows the distribution of students who passed or failed their introductory statistics course based on attendance. The instructor is interested in knowing whether attendance is related to passing the course. At the 5% level of significance, can you conclude that there is a relationship between attendance and whether or not the student passes the introductory statistics course?
course stat | |||
pass | fail | total | |
attended regularly | 50 | 10 | 60 |
did not attend regularly | 10 | 30 | 40 |
total | 60 | 40 | 100 |

There is no relationship between attendance and whether or not the student passes the introductory statistics course
There is a relationship between attendance and whether or not the student passes the introductory statistics course
Significance level:
Test statistic
Expected value = mentioned in the parenthesis
Since the P value is less than the significance level, we can reject the null hypothesis. Hence we have evidence that there is a relationship between attendance and whether or not the student passes the introductory
