A 1992 poll conducted by the University of Montana classified respondents by gender and political party, as shown in the table below. We wonder if there is an association between gender and party affiliation. Which of the following would be the appropriate type of test to investigate our hypothesis?

Male= ( 36 / 45 / 24 )
Female= ( 48 / 33 / 16 )

What are the X^2 and p-values for the test?

A. X^2 = 4.85 p = 0.09


B. X^2 = 5.85 p = 0.88


C. X^2 = 4.85 p = 0.88


D. X^2 = 4.05 p = 0.09
