TABLE 12-10
The director of admissions at a state college is interested in seeing if admissions status (admitted, waiting list, denied admission) at his college is independent of the type of community in which an applicant resides. He takes a sample of recent admissions decisions and forms the following table:
$$\begin{array} { l | l l l | l }
& \text { Admitted } & \text { Wait List } & \text { Denied } & \text { Total } \
\hline \text { Urban } & 45 & 21 & 17 & 83 \
\text { Rural } & 33 & 13 & 24 & 70 \
\text { Suburban } & 34 & 12 & 39 & 85 \
\hline \text { Total } & 112 & 46 & 80 & 238
\end{array}$$ He will use this table to do a chi-square test of independence with a level of significance of 0.01.
-Referring to Table 12-10, the null hypothesis will be rejected.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The null hypothesis will be rejected if the p-value is less than the significance level of 0.01. Without performing the chi-square test calculation, we cannot determine if the null hypothesis will be rejected.
