Suppose that Hs states that there is oo relatiolsbip botweea income levei and donatiou
io chariqy each year. Jhea Hr would state ftrat :
a. income level has ilotling to do with charity donations.
b. if income level rises, then douations to chariqy are unchanged'
c, income level and douations to charity bave no association.
d- income levei and doaatiols to charity are related.

If two variables are i:rdependent, then this means that :

a. the variables a1e somehow related

b. ite value ofonecan be used to predict the value ofthe other
c. ttre value ofone does noi depend ol the value of the other
d. the value ofone cioes depend on the value of the other

 Ifyou calculated the value ofa 72 - tes, statistic to be negativg it automatically
follows that :
a. i{6 is rejected at all le1'els ofa
b. H6 is not rejected at all levels ofa
c. &e test is incoaclusive
d. you have made a mjstake

Ifthe sum of the first row offiequencies in a contingency table is equal to 212, it
aulomati cali1, follows that :
a, the graad total Aequency must be greater than212
b. the degrees of freedom must be at ]east 13
c. tle sum of the frst coluran &equeircies mwt also equal212
d. the total sum of colunn frequencies oaanotbe 212

9 The y2 distibutions are usually used for the followiag type of Cata :
a. qualitative.
b. quandtative.
c. ratio.
d. non-categoricai.

10 In a 72 test if
oae were to compare the number of students in various classes (A, B, C,
D) to how mauy automobile accidents this past yoax using the categories : a) no
accidenrs, b) one acciden! c) more than one accrdenq then the degrees of&eedom thal
oac should chect onthe 72 table (whel no parameters are estimated) is
8,6.
