The effect of guilt emotion on how a decision maker focuses on a problem was investigated in the Journal of Behavioral Decision Making. A total of 171 students participated in the experiment, where each was randomly assigned to one of three emotional states (guilt, anger, or neutral) through a reading/writing task. Immediately after the task, students were presented with a decision making problem where the stated option had predominately negative features (eg. Spending money on repairing a very old car). The results are summarized in the table below.

Emotional State	Choose Stated Option	Do Not Choose Stated Option	Totals
Guilt	45	12
Anger	8	50
Neutral	7		56
Totals			171

In atest if there is sufficient evidence (at = 0.10) if the option choice depended on emotional state. state the H_o and H_a

	A.	Ho : the variables emotional state and stated option choice are not independent Ha : the variables emotional state and stated option choice are independent
	B.	Ho : the variables emotional state and stated option choice are independent Ha : the variables emotional state and stated option choice are not independent
	C.	Unable to determine because of missing values.
	D.	Ho : the probabilities for emotional state and stated option choice are independent Ha : the probabilities for emotional state and stated option choice are not independent

	B.	20.00 with df = 2
	C.	72.23 with df = 2
	D.	Unable to determine because of missing values

	A.	0.06
	B.	0.05
	C.	0.02
	D.	A very small number

Using the information from question 6, in a test if there is sufficient evidence if the option choice depended on emotional state what your conclusion?
