B)a 2 × 2 contingency table
C)one categorization of responses
D)either a 3 × 2 or a 2 × 3 contingency table

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The result summary indicates that the test used a 2 × 2 contingency table and did not find a significant association between the variables being compared (p > .05). The N value indicates there were 57 participants in the study, but the chi-square test of independence does not require a specific number of participants. The other options (A, C, and D) do not provide information about the size or nature of the contingency table used in the analysis.
