Now you are going to determine if there is an association between two categorical variables -- for example, the comparison of gender and a college graduate. In this assignment, you will work with the steps of a new kind of hypothesis test called the chi-square test of independence.

Have the assumptions for this test been met? Why or why not?

State the null and alternative hypotheses for this test.

Calculate the test statistic for this test. Explain what this test statistic represents.

Use technology, such as Excel, to calculate the p-value for this test. Explain what this p-value represents.

State the conclusion for this test at the 0.05 level of significance. Do you think these variables are dependent/associated? Why or why not?
