Suppose the value of the test statistic was 164 (which is not the correct answer) and the critical value was 19.00 (which is not the correct answer), then we could conclude that
A) There is a connection between time spent reading storybooks and time spent watching TV.
B) There is no connection between time spent reading storybooks and time spent watching TV.
