Question
Members of a certain club are required to register for one of three sports, badminton, volleyball or table tennis. The number of club members of each gender choosing each sport in a particular year is shown in the table below.
A \({\chi ^2}\) (Chi-squared) test at the \(5\% \) significance level is used to determine whether the choice of sport is independent of gender.
Find the expected number of female volleyball players under this hypothesis.
[2]
a.
Write down the \(p\)-value for the test.
[2]
b.
State, with a reason, the conclusion of the test.

b.
Since \(p{\text{-value}} > 5\% \), the choice of the sport is independent of gender. (R1)(A1)(ft) (C2)
Note: The (R1) is awarded for the explicit comparison, the (A1)(ft) is awarded for a consistent conclusion with their answer in part (c).
It is therefore possible that (R1)(A0) may be awarded, but (R0)(A1) can never be awarded.
