Question
A group of 100 students gave the following responses to the question of how they get to school.
A χ2 test for independence was conducted at the 5% significance level. The null hypothesis was defined as
H0: Method of getting to school is independent of gender.
Find the expected frequency for the females who use public transport to get to school.
Find the χ2 statistic.
The χ2 critical value is 7.815 at the 5% significance level.
State whether or not the null hypothesis is accepted. Give a reason for your answer.
