Explanation / Answer

b)

H0: Family income and family structure are Independent

H1: Family income and familiy structure are not independent

?2 = 13.194,     df = 1,     ?2/df = 13.19 ,         P(?2 > 13.194) = 0.0003

Since p - value is < 0.05, we reject Ho

At 1% significane level

p- value < 0.01, so we reject Ho

So we have enough evidence that family income and family structure are dependnent
