The test value of 1.48 falls between the critical values of -1.96 and 1.96 at alpha level of .05. Therefore, we fail to reject the null hypothesis that there is no relationship between meal preference and gender of the student. In other words, there is not enough evidence to conclude that meal preference is related to gender. The test value for this 2x2 chi-square test is 1.58. Using a chi-square distribution table with 1 degree of freedom and a significance level of .05, the critical value is 3.84. Since 1.58 < 3.84, we fail to reject the null hypothesis that meal preference and gender are not related. Therefore, there is not enough evidence to claim that meal preference and gender are related.
