Answer 1

As the test for pearson chi square test here is done for testing whether the two variables relationship happiness and the financial comfort, are associated or not, and we are are given for 4 degrees of freedom, the p-value for the test as 0.000. As the p value is very very small here, therefore the test is significant here and therefor we have sufficient evidence here that the two variables relationship happiness and the financial comfort are associated and are not independent.
