Question 325006: Can I get help with this question?
Which of the following is the BEST statement of the null hypothesis for conducting a Chi-Square analysis?
A) The variables are NOT statistically related in the sample
B) The variables ARE statistically related in the population
C) The variables are NOT statistically related in the population
D) The variables ARE statistically related in the sample
I understand that a statistically significant relationship is a relationship observed in a sample that would have been unlikely to occur if really there is no relationship in the larger population. So I think A would be the answer.
Thanks,
Donnie

I agree, since the Chi-Sq is a test of INDEPENDENCE,
we assume independence and reject it only if there
is stong evidence to the contrary.
