A survey was conducted to investigate whether there is an association between a person's age and their thoughts on what a state senate should do about state parks. Participants selected from "leave state parks the way they are," "increase funding to state parks," or "completely overhaul state parks," and their age was categorized as under 30 years old, between 30 and 50 years old, and over 50 years old. The hypothesis test statistic was calculated to be 15.01. Which of the following is closest to the p- value of the test? A. 0.0047
B. 0.0103
C. 0.0202
D. 09897
E. 0.9953

0.0047

Step-by-step explanation:

This is what college board says

The value 0.0047 is the probability that χ2 is greater than 15.01 in an χ2 distribution with (3−1)(3−1)=4 degrees of freedom.

E. 0.9953

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the p value is shown below:

According to the question

The participant choosen from 3 different state parks, r = 3

And there are 3 different age group, s = 3

So, degrees of freedom is

= (r-1) × (s-1)

= 2 × 2

= 4

And, the Test statistic is 15.01

Now

p-value = P(Chisq < 15.01 )

= 0.9953

In the chisquare table see the degree of freedom i.e. 4
