In Fall 2015 data were collected from a random sample of 401 Penn State World Campus students. These students were asked if they were Pennsylvania residents (yes/no) and if they owned a cat (yes/no). A chi-square test of independence was used to examine the relationship between these two variables. The result was a chi-square test statistic of 12.94 with 1 degree of freedom and a corresponding p-value of .0003
