question 30

Multiple Choice

This table lists the number of students from three different high schools participating in the mathematics and physics sections of a science fair. At $= .05$ , test the claim that the section of participation and the high school where the students were from are
$\begin{array} { l l c c c } & \text { Number of Students } & \text { High School 1 } & \text { High School } 2 & \text { High School } 3 \\ & \text { Mathematics } & 9 & 12 & 14 \\ \text { independent. } & \text { Physics } & 34 & 27 & 22 \end{array}$

• A) There is evidence to reject the claim that the high school and the section of participation are . independent because the test value \(12.592 > 0.914\)
• B)There is not evidence to reject the claim that the high school and the section of participation are independent because the test value \(0.914 < 5.991\)
• C) There is evidence to reject the claim that the high school and the section of participation are independent because the test value \(5.991 > 0.914\)
• D)There is not evidence to reject the claim that the high school and the section of participation are independent because the test value \(3.063 < 5.991\)
