Where n=2, Degree of freedom= n-1= 2-1=1 Chi-square tabulated= 0.0039 Decision rule: Since chi-square calculated is greater than chi-square tabulated, we reject the null hypothesis that there is no relationship between gender and ownership of alternative source of electricity by households. Therefore from the results of the chi-square test, it can be suggested that there is a relationship between gender and ownership of various types of alternative sources of electricity such as generator, solar, inverter, etc. H0- There is no relationship between income level and ownership of alternative source of electricity by households H1- There is a relationship between income level and

N=11, Degree of freedom=11-1=10 Chi-square tabulated=3.94 Decision rule: Since chi square calculated is greater than chi square tabulated, we reject the null hypothesis that there is no relationship between the income level of the households and their ability to self-generate electricity. Therefore it can be suggested that there is a relationship between income level and ownership of alternative source of electricity. 1.
