Answer the questions that follow this SPSS output:
Symmetric Measures
$\begin{array}{|l|r|r|r|r|}\hline & \text { Value } & {\begin{array}{c}\text { Asymp. Std. } \\\text { Errorᵃ }\end{array}} & \text { Approx. Tᵇ } & \text { Approx. Sig. } \\\hline \text { Ordinal by Ordinal Kendall's tau-b } & .123 & .061 & 1.991 & .046 \\\text { N of Valid Cases } & 239 & & & \\\hline\end{array}$
a. Not assuming the null hypothesis.
b. Using the asymptotic standard error assuming the null hypothesis.
Your research hypothesis is "In the population, there is a positive association (as indicated by Kendall's tau-b) between highest educational degree and marital happiness." ()
A) What is your null hypothesis?
B) Are the sample results consistent with the research hypothesis or with the null hypothesis?
C) What is the probability of getting the sample results you got if the null hypothesis is true? (If this step in hypothesis testing can be skipped, write the word "SKIP".)
D) What is your conclusion? (In other words, do you "reject" or "not reject" the null hypothesis based on these results?)
E) Are your results statistically significant? (yes / no)
