Answer: a. reject the null hypothesis, church attendance and marital status are dependent
Step-by-step explanation:
- If the obtained chi-square value is greater than the critical chi square value then we reject the null hypothesis.
Given : A Chi square test has been conducted to assess the relationship between marital status and church attendance. The obtained Chi square is 23.45 and the critical Chi square is 9.488.
Null hypothesis : There is no relationship between the variables.
Alternative hypothesis : There is a relationship between the variables.
Here we can see that the obtained chi-square (23.45) value is greater than the critical chi square value (9.488) , then we have to reject the null hypothesis.
So the correct answer is reject the null hypothesis, church attendance and marital status are dependent.
