Based on the sample data,can the cable company conclude that there is a relationship between the age of the customer and the payment method used? Conduct the appropriate test at the alpha= 0.01 level of significance.
A)Because x² = 42.2412 > 21.666,do not reject the null hypothesis.Based on the sample data conclude that age and type of payment are independent.
B)Because x² = 42.2412 > 21.666,reject the null hypothesis.Based on the sample data conclude that age and type of payment are not independent
C)Because x² = 50.3115 > 21.666,do not reject the null hypothesis.Based on the sample data conclude that age and type of payment are independent.
D)Because x² = 50.3115 > 21.666,reject the null hypothesis.Based on the sample data conclude that age and type of payment are not independent.
