TABLE 11-13 Recent Studies Have Found That American Children Are More Obese

TABLE 11-13
Recent studies have found that American children are more obese than in the past. The amount of time children spent watching television has received much of the blame. A survey of 100 ten-year-olds revealed the following with regard to weights and average number of hours a day spent watching television. We are interested in testing whether the mean number of hours spent watching TV and weights are independent at 1% level of significance.

-Referring to Table 11-13, suppose the value of the test statistic was 30.00 (which is not the correct value) and the critical value at 1% level of significance was 10.00 (which is not the correct value) . Which of the following conclusions would be correct?

A) We will not reject the null and conclude that mean number of hours spent watching TV and weights are independent.
B) We will reject the null and conclude that mean number of hours spent watching TV and weights are independent.
C) We will not reject the null and conclude that mean number of hours spent watching TV and weights are not independent.
