A)Because the p- value is greater than alpha, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variables.
B)Because the p- value is less than alpha, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variables.
C)Because the p- value is greater than alpha, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variables.
