If We Run the Chi-Square Test and We Get a .02

question 9

Multiple Choice

If we run the chi-square test and we get a .02 level of significance to support the null hypothesis,this means:

• A)there is adequate support for the null hypothesis.
• B)there is no association between the two nominally scaled variables.
• C)there is only a 2 percent chance that the two nominally scaled variables are systematically related.
• D)there is a significant association between the two nominally scaled variables,and this information alone is adequate to explain the nature of the association.
• E)there is a significant association between the two nominally scaled variables,but this information alone is a "flag" that we need to look more closely at the variables to discern the nature of the relationship.
