A university is considering implementing one of the following three grading systems: (1) All grades
are pass-fail, (2) all grades are on the 4.0 system. And (3) 90% of the grades are on the 4.0 system
and 10% are pass-fail. A survey is taken to determine whether there is a relationship between
undergraduate major and grading system preference. A random sample of 200 students with
engineering majors, 200 students with arts and sciences majors, and 100 students with fine arts
majors is selected. Each student is asked which of the three grading systems he or she prefers. The
results are shown in the following 3 x 3 contingency table:

A grading system preference is not in any way influenced by differences in undergraduate majors.

a. What is the null hypothesis?

According to the null hypothesis, there is no correlation between two demographic parameters,
such as an independent variable and a dependent variable. If the hypothesis suggests a
connection between the two elements, the result can be the result of an experimental or
sampling error. Yet, if the null hypothesis is incorrect, a relationship exists between the
measured phenomena.

A) Degrees of freedom= (3-1) * (3-1)=2*2=4

B) Critical chi square value = CHIINV (0.05,4)=9.488
C) Test statistic: Obtained chi square score=18.56
D) As, obtained chi square score> 9.488
E) According to the other theory, the H therapy reduces the test A more effectively than the usual
treatment.
