It is thought that there are a variety of factors that affect a teacher's salary. Using the following
Printout and sample data, determine whether the holding of a PhD degree is a signiﬁcant variable
When tested at the 5% level of signiﬁcance.

A) Since the p-value is less than the level of signiﬁcance, the null hypothesis is rejected, and so the holding of a PhD should be included in the analysis.
B) Since the p-value is less than the level of signiﬁcance, the null hypothesis is accepted, and so the PhD should not be included in the analysis.
C) Since the p-value is more than the level of signiﬁcance, the null hypothesis is accepted, and so the PhD should not be included in the analysis.
D) Since the p-value is more than the level of signiﬁcance, the null hypothesis is rejected, and so the PhD should be included in the analysis.
