Question

A researcher reports the following results for a chi-square test: $\chi$² ()= 5.39,p < .05 (V = 0.22).What is the maximum number of levels that an independent variable could have had? A) 1 B) 2 C) 3 D) 4

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The chi-square test is used to examine the differences between categorical variables. Given that the test is significant (p < .05), and considering the nature of chi-square tests, the minimum number of levels/categories for an independent variable to conduct such a test is 2. A single level would not allow for a comparison, and the given information does not support more than 2 levels without further details.
