null; hypothesis: Ho: educational attainment and age are independent.

Ha: educational attainment and age are related

degree of freedom =(row-1)*(column-1)=(4-1)*(5-1)=12

for 12 degree of freedom and 0.05 level of signfiicance rejection region >21.026

from above as test statistic 22373.566 is in rejection region we reject null hypothesis

we have sufficient evidence to conclude at 0.05 level that educational attainment and age are related
