A chi-squared test of a contingency table with 6 degrees of freedom results in a test statistic $\chi$² = 13.58.Using the $\chi$² tables,the most accurate statement that can be made about the p-value for this test is that: A) p-value .10 B) p-value .05 C) .05

Question

A chi-squared test of a contingency table with 6 degrees of freedom results in a test statistic $\chi$² = 13.58.Using the $\chi$² tables,the most accurate statement that can be made about the p-value for this test is that: A) p-value > .10 B) p-value > .05 C) .05 < p-value < .10 D) .025 < p-value < .05

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The p-value is between .025 and .05 because the test statistic is greater than the critical value for a chi-squared test with 6 degrees of freedom at the .05 level of significance (12.592) but less than the critical value at the .025 level of significance (16.812).
