An educational psychologist wondered whether there was a relationship between the amount of academic pressure a high school student felt and their plans for college. They surveyed a random sample of 300 high school students throughout the country about their college plans and whether they felt academic pressure. Here are the responses and partial results of a chi-square test (expected counts appear below observed counts): Chi-square test:
Planned years of college vs. feeling academic pressure now
O years Up to 4 years Up to 4 years More than 4 years Total
Yes 31 48 161 240
31.2 48 160.8
No 8 12 40 60

They want to use these results to carry out a xạ test of independence. Assume that all conditions for inference were met. What are the values of the test statistic and P-value for their test?
What are the values of the test statistic and P-value for their test?
A. x² = 0.002;
0.001 < P-value < 0.0025
B. x² = 0.002;
P-value > 0.25
C. x² = 0.007;
0.005 < P-value < 0.01
D. x² = 0.007;
P-value > 0.25
