SOLUTION:

𝐻𝑜 : There is no significant difference of the two groups

𝐻𝑎 : There is a significant difference of the two groups

𝐷𝐹 = (𝑘 − 1)(𝑟 − 1)
𝐷𝐹 = (2 − 1)(2 − 1)

Since 6.63 (tabular value) < 9.82 (computed value), we reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, there
is a significant difference between the opinion of seniors and freshmen in the controversial issue.
