The null hypothesis for test of significance with gamma states that
A)there is no association between the variables in the sample.
B)there is a perfect association between the variables in the sample.
C)there is no association between the variables in the population from which the samples were taken.
D)chi square is zero.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The gamma test of significance is used to determine the presence and strength of association between two variables in a population. The null hypothesis states that there is no association between the variables in the population from which the samples were taken. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer. Choices A and B are incorrect because they describe extreme cases of association and do not represent the null hypothesis. Choice D is incorrect because it refers to a different test (chi square) and is not relevant to the gamma test.
