Question

If the results of a study using the chi-square test of independence are summarized as χ2 (2, N = 120) = 25.95, p < .05, then you would know that the χ2 was based on.
A)the score of 122 participants
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 (2, N = 120) indicates that there are 2 categories or variables being analyzed, and a total of 120 participants in the study. The p-value being less than .05 indicates that there is a statistically significant relationship between the two variables. However, we don't know the specific number of rows and columns in the contingency table, so it could either be a 3 × 2 or a 2 × 3 table.
