ANSWER:

The product category was independent of why they made their purchase online

EXPLANATION:

Ho: The product category was independent of why they made their purchase online

H1: The product category was dependent of why they made their purchase online

Here the chi -square p value = 0.07 and alpha = 0.05

Therefore p>0.05 (0.07>0.05)

Hence we fail to reject Ho.

i,e. The product category was independent of why they made their purchase online
