Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The appropriate test to analyze the relationship between a categorical variable (social activity) and a categorical variable (education) is contingency table analysis. This allows for the calculation of expected frequencies and a chi-square test to determine if there is a significant association between the two variables. Regression analysis is used for continuous variables, analysis of variance is used for comparing means of three or more groups, and goodness-of-fit is used to test if observed data fits a theoretical distribution.
