A researcher was interested in studying the phenomenon known as social distance, the reluctance of people to associate with members of different ethnic and racial groups. She designed an experiment in which students enrolled in a lecture course were asked to choose a discussion group (all meeting at the same time in the same building) based only on the ethnic–racial stereotype associated with the names of the teaching assistant:

Group	Teaching Assistant	Room	Enrollment
A	Cheng	106	12
B	Schultz	108	26
C	Goldberg	110	12
D	Rodriquez	112	18

Based on the enrollments, use the one-way chi-square to test the null hypothesis that the ethnic–racial name made no difference in students’ selection of a discussion group. State your null and alternative hypothesis and show your work step by step. Make sure interpret your finding (Use .01 significance level).
