Question

A recent study of the relationship between social activity and education for a sample of corporate executives showed the following results. Social Activity Education Above Average Average Below Average College 30 20 10 High School 20 40 90 Grade School 10 50 130 Using 0.05 as the significance level, what is the critical value for the test statistic

Answer 1

9.488

Explanation:

The critical value is found by first assessing which statistical test should be used.

We are interested in investigating relationship between social activity and education so chi-square test would be appropriate.

We have 3 rows and 3 columns. The degree of freedom for chi-square critical value is (r-1)(c-1)=(3-1)(3-1)=2*2=4

Chi-square critical value(0.05,4)= 9.488
