Directions: Conduct a chi$-$square test for independence to determine if the association between knowing

someone on public assistance and views on social spending is statistically significant.

Choose the correct null and alternative hypotheses.

$H_0$ : There is an association between knowing someone on public assistance and views on

social spending.

$H_a$ There is no association between knowing someone on public assistance and views on social

spending.

$H_0$ : There is no association between knowing someone on public assistance and views on

social spending.

$H_a$ There is an association between knowing someone on public assistance and views on social

spending.

Compute the expected values.

Complete the following table of expected counts. $($Round your answers to $4$ decimal places$).$

Compute the value of the test statistic. $($Round your answer to $4$ decimal places.$)$

${}^2=$

Compute the $p-$value. $($Round your answer to $4$ decimal places.$)$

$p-$value $=$

Interpret the results of the significance test.

The $p-$value provides strong evidence against the null hypothesis. The association between

knowing someone on public assistance and attitudes towards social spending is statistically

significant.
