If chisquare is equal to 114.83, which of the following statements is true for a 4x5 contingency table at a=.01 ?
a. chisquare obtained is less than the chisquare critical value, so there is a significant relationship between the two variables
b. chisquare obtained is greater than chisquare critical value, so there is not a significant relationship between the two variables
c. chisquare obtained is less than the chisquare critical value, so there is not a significant relationship between the two variables
d. chisquare obtained is greater than chisquare critical value, so there is a significant relationship between the two variables
Here the hypothesis is,
H0: variables are independent means there is no relationship between the variables.
Against
H1: variables are dependent, means there is a relationship between the variables.
Calculated value=114.83
4×5 contingency table means, number of rows=r=
4 and number of columns =s=5
Degrees of freedom= (r-1)×(s-1)= 3×4=12
Level of significanc==0.01
Critical value= 26.22 ......Using Chi square table
Decision Rule :- Calculated value > critical value
Reject H0 at =0.01% level of significance.
Conclusion:- the variables are dependent means there is significant relationship between the two variables.
Option d)
