(b) The appropriate critical value is Blank 2 , in three decimal places.

(c) Calculate the expected values in two decimal places, and fill in the respective
blanks in the sequence C11, C21, C22, C32:

C
(e) Decision of the test is to Blank 8 . (Choose an option below. Key in letter A,
B, C, D or E)

      A. Reject null hypothesis as the test value falls in the critical region

      B. Do not reject null hypothesis as the test value is more than the critical value

      C. Do not reject null hypothesis as the test value is less than the critical value
      D. Reject null hypothesis as the test value falls in the non-critical region

      E. Reject null hypothesis as the test value is less than the critical value

(f) Conclusion to the test is:

A
There is Blank 9 evidence to conclude that the use of a certain brand of

shampoo is Blank 10 the age of an individual.

(Choose an option below for each blank. Key in letter A, B, C, D or E)
