A researcher conducts two chi-square tests.The 2 * 2 chi-square was $\chi$² = 3.82.The 2 * 3 chi-square was $\chi$² = 5.02.Which chi-square test resulted in a decision to reject the null hypothesis at a .05 level of significance? A) the 2* 2 chi-square B) the 2 * 3 chi-square C) both chi-square tests results in a decision to reject the null hypothesis D) none; both chi-square tests result in a decision to retain the null hypothesis

The critical value for a chi-square test at a .05 level of significance typically exceeds both 3.82 and 5.02 for low degrees of freedom (e.g., 2 or 3), suggesting that neither result is significant enough to reject the null hypothesis without knowing the exact degrees of freedom and corresponding critical values.
