Suppose a Researcher Was Interested in Learning More About Parents

Multiple Choice

Suppose a researcher was interested in learning more about parents' concerns when their children go away to college. The researcher asks the parents of 900 randomly selected freshman at a private college and the parents of 1,020 randomly selected freshman at a public college to rate their level of concern with the following statement: We are (a) not at all concerned (b) somewhat concerned or (c) very concerned about the potential pressure to drink alcohol that our child will be exposed to while at college. If we wanted to test whether there was an association between the response to the question and the type of college that the freshman was attending, would this be a test of homogeneity or of independence?

A) Independence
B) Homogeneity
