Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A chi-square test is appropriate for analyzing the relationship between two categorical variables, such as social activity (yes or no) and education (high school diploma, bachelor's degree, etc.). The other options (F-statistic, T-statistic, and Z-statistic) are used for analyzing continuous variables and would not be appropriate for this categorical data.
