    Question

    Consider the following contingency table with the variable income in the rows and the variable job satisfaction in the columns. The values in the cells are the observed frequencies. The values in parentheses are the expected frequencies.



    Job satisfaction


    Unsatisfied Satisfied
    Income
    Below modal 20 (15) 10 (15)
    Modal 20 (20) 20 (20)
    Above modal 10 (15) 20 (15)

    Perform a Chi-square (X2) test for the data presented in the table. What is the correct conclusion with α = 0.05?


    1. TRUE: There is a statistical association between income and satisfaction, because the observed X2 is smaller than the critical X2.
    2. FALSE: There is no statistical association between income and satisfaction, because the observed X2 is smaller than the critical X2.
    3. FALSE: There is a statistical association between income and satisfaction, because the observed X2 is greater than the critical X2.
    4. FALSE: There is no statistical association between income and satisfaction, because the observed X2 is greater than the critical X2.

    1. True
    2. False
    3. False
    4. False
