Exercise 44

Teacher Ratings: Grades Professor Stone complains that student teacher rating depends on the grade the student receives. In other words, according to Professor Stone, a teacher who gives good grades gets good ratings, and a teacher who gives bad grades gets bad ratings. To test this claim, the Student Assembly took a random sample of 300 teacher ratings on which the student's grade for the course also was indicated. The results are given in the following table. Test the hypothesis that teacher ratings and student grades are independent at the 0.01 level of significance.
