In a study to determine the effect of early child care on infant-mother attachment patterns, 100 infants were classified as either "secure" or "anxious" using an appropriate measurement scale. In addition, the infants were classified according to the average number of hours per week that they spent in child care. The data are presented in the table.
Low (0–3 hours) |
Moderate (4–19 hours) |
High (20–54 hours) |
|
---|---|---|---|
Secure | 26 | 37 | 7 |
Anxious | 10 | 11 | 9 |
Given: H0: Attachment pattern and amount of
time spent in child care are independent.
Ha: Attachment pattern and amount of time spent
in child care are dependent.
