You are determining whether or not 20 healthcare workers surveyed determine whether they are normotensive or prehypertensive. The 20 healthcare workers were classified as either normal BMI or Overweight. Perform a chi-square test of independence to assess the association between the Blood pressure and the BMI.

Participant Number	BMI category	Codes for BMI status	BP category	Codes for BP category
1	Normal	1	Normotensive	1
2	Normal	1	Normotensive	1
3	Normal	1	Normotensive	1
4	Normal	1	Normotensive	1
5	Normal	1	Normotensive	1
6	Normal	1	Normotensive	1
7	Normal	1	Normotensive	1
8	Normal	1	Prehypertensive	2
9	Normal	1	Prehypertensive	2
10	Normal	1	Prehypertensive	2
11	Overweight	2	Normotensive	1
12	Overweight	2	Normotensive	1
13	Overweight	2	Normotensive	1
14	Overweight	2	Prehypertensive	2
15	Overweight	2	Prehypertensive	2
16	Overweight	2	Prehypertensive	2
17	Overweight	2	Prehypertensive	2
18	Overweight	2	Prehypertensive	2
19	Overweight	2	Prehypertensive	2
20	Overweight	2	Prehypertensive	2

1. Are the results statistically significant at the 0.05 level?

2. Provide a statement of the results, based on the significance of the test. Also, include the statistical notation.

Expert Solution

Hypothesis

Ho: There is no association between Blood pressure and BMI.

H1: There is an association between Blood pressure and BMI.

#### R command

Input =("
Injection.area Normotensive Prehypertensive
Normal 7 3
Overweight 3 7
")

Matrix = as.matrix(read.table(textConnection(Input),
header=TRUE,
row.names=1))
Matrix

## chisq.test(Matrix)

#### End

1. Are the results statistically significant at the 0.05 level?

Ans: The p-value is 0.1797 and greater than 0.05 level of significance. Hence, fail to reject the null hypothesis and the results do not statistically significant at the 0.05 level.

2. Provide a statement of the results, based on the significance of the test. Also, include the statistical notation.

Ans: There is no association between Blood pressure and BMI.
