Answer 1

Answer:

A. Is there a relationship between gender and pet ownership?

B. Is there a relationship between marital status (single, married, divorced, widowed) and political party affiliation (Democrat, Independent, Republican)?

Explanation:

The chi squared test is a test in statistics used to establish the relationship between categorical variables. It seeks to compare the observed results in an experiment to the expected results. The test assumes that the variables being compared are independent of each other.

Categorical variables are descriptive and qualitative in nature. Numerical variables, on the other hand, deal with numbers. The amount of credit card debt is a numerical value, and therefore, does not qualify as a chi squared variable.
