c) Can we safely use the chi-square test? what null and alternate hypothesis does X2(x squared) test?
d) The chi-square statistic for this table is X2(x squared)= 53.194. What are its degrees of freedom? What is the mean of X2(x squared) if the null hypothesis is true? Use the chi-square distribution critical values table to approximate the P-value of the test.
