Workers and senior-level bosses were asked if it was seriously unethical to monitor employee e-mail. The results are summarized in the table to the right. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the response is independent of whether the subject is a worker or a boss. Yes No Workers 200 200 250 250 Bosses 36 36 81 81 a. State the null and the alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below. A. The null hypothesis: Response is independent of whether the subject is a worker or a senior-level boss. The alternative hypothesis: There is some relationship between response and whether the subject is a worker or a senior-level boss. Your answer is correct. B. The null hypothesis: There is some relationship between response and whether the subject is a worker or a senior-level boss. The alternative hypothesis: Response is independent of whether the subject is a worker or a senior-level boss. b. Assuming independence between the two variables, find the expected frequency for each cell of the table. Table of expected frequencies Yes No Workers 187.3 187.3 262.7 262.7 Bosses 48.7 48.7 68.3 68.3 (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.) c. Find the value of the chi squared χ2 test statistic. chi squared χ2 equals = nothing (Round to the nearest hundredth as needed.)
Correct answer:
A. The null hypothesis: Response is independent of whether the subject is a worker or a senior-level boss.
The alternative hypothesis: There is some relationship between response and whether the subject is a worker or a senior-level boss.
Explanation: The null hypotheses for the chi square test says that there is no association between two variables such that response are independent of whether the subject is a worker or a senior-level boss.
and the alternative hypotheses for the chi square test says that there is some association between two variables such that there is some relationship between response

The observed values are,
Yes | No | Total | |
Workers | 200 | 250 | 450 |
Bosses | 36 | 81 | 117 |
Total | 236 | 331 | 567 |
The expected values are obtained using the formula,
