🗑
|

ANSWER D
🗑

🗑
|
||||
| SIX IS WAY TO LONG |
🗑
|
||||
| The main idea of a chi square test is that you | compare population means to see if they vary from each other more than by chance.
🗑
|
||||
| When conducting a test for independent means | you reject the null hypothesis if the score is more extreme than the cutoff score
