Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The chi-square test result indicates that there is a significant difference in the distribution of religious identification between the working class and middle class respondents. However, the question asks for the percentage of middle class respondents who were Catholic, which is not directly provided in the given information. To calculate this percentage, we need to refer to the table showing the distribution of religious affiliation by socioeconomic class.

According to the table, out of the 34 middle class respondents, 5 were Catholic. Therefore, the percentage of middle class respondents who were Catholic is:

5/34 = 0.147 or 14.7% (rounded to one decimal place)

So, the correct answer is C.
