<PRE><B>Question 350687</B>
I need help with the following questions:
A survey of randomly chosen new students at a certain university revealed the data below
concerning the main reason for choosing this university instead of another. Research question: At alpha = .01, is the main reason for choosing the university independent of student type?
----------------- 
Students

            New Student 	     Tuition 	Location	Reputation	Row Total
Freshmen	        50 		30 		35 		115
Transfers 	15	 	29	 	20	 	64
MBAs		 5 		20	 	60	 	85
Col Total	70	 	79	 	115	 	264

----------------
Ho: Row and Column factors are independent
Ha: Row and Column factors are not independent
I ran a Chi-Sq Test of the 3 by 4 set of data and got the following:
---
Chi-Sq = 54.1768
p-value = 0.000000000048325
=================================================== 

Since the p-value is less than 1%, reject Ho
Conclusion: The test results do not support Ho.
===================================================
Cheers,
Stan H.
