Probem 3

Evaluation results of a faculty member by students in her graduate classes versus undergraduate classes had the following results from classes over the last three years. The data is presented as a 3-point Likert scale. The investigator is interested in determining if the evaluation result is independent or dependent on class standing. Use an alpha of .05

	Positive Review	Neutral Review	Negative Review
Undergrad	100	5	250
Graduate	100	20	50

1-Select the alternative hypothesis.

Evaluation is dependent on class standing

Evaluation is unrelated to class standing

Evaluation is independent of class standing

None of these answers

2-Select the correct conclusion
