---------------------------
Ho: degree of certainty is independent of credis earned
Ha: they are dependent
----------------------
Ran a Chi-Sq on the data to get:
Test Statistic: Chi-Sq = 14.7638
p-value = 0.0222
df = 6
------------
Conclusion: Since p-value is greater that alpha = 1%, Fail to reject Ho.
The test provides statistical evidence that degree of certainty and credits earned are independent.
