1. MakingaFinalDecision(AppendixB.4p.536) Obtained Chi-Square Statistic =

Since our obtained chi-square of is (greateror less) than our critical chi-square of and (doesor does not) fall into the critical region, we must (rejector fail to reject) the null hypothesis that there is no associationbetweenthetwovariablesinthepopulation(orgenderandcriminalstatusfelon arestatistically independent).

Conclusion:

Our conclusion, therefore, is that gender and criminal status (i.e., felon) are (dependent or independent); that is, there is (arelationshipor norelationship) between them in the population.
