$X_0^2=37.518$ with a P-value $\ltα$. Reject the null hypothesis.
There is enough evidence to conclude that the level of funding received by counties through the AAA and the candidate are dependent.
Work Step by Step
$H_0:$ the level of funding received by counties through the AAA and the candidate are independent.
versus
$H_1:$ the level of funding received by counties through the AAA and the candidate are dependent.
In MINITAB, enter the given values:
1-C1 = 745, 1-C2 = 641, 1-C3 = 513, 1-C4 = 411
2-C1 = 498, 2-C2 = 484, 2-C3 = 437, 2-C4 = 465
Select Stat -> Tables -> Chi-Square Test for Association
Select "Summarized data in a two-way table"
In columns containing the table enter: C1 C2 C3 C4
Click OK.
$X_0^2=37.518$ with a P-value $\lt0.001\ltα=0.05$
