Answer 1

Reject H0

Age and pressure are related

Explanation:

The null hypothesis is rejected or accepted on the basis of level of significance. When the p-value is greater than level of significance we fail to reject the null hypothesis and null hypothesis is then accepted. It is not necessary that all null hypothesis will be rejected at 10% level of significance. To determine the criteria for accepting or rejecting a null hypothesis we should also consider p-value. In the given scenario we reject the null hypothesis because job pressure and age are related to each other.
