A study of young adults described their gender and whether or not they participated in binge drinking over the past 6 months. According to the CDC, binge drinking is defined as 5 or more alcoholic drinks on an occasion for men and 4 or more on an occasion for women.   Partial results of an analysis of a study follow

Male- Binge 130, No Binge 250= 380

Female- Binge 60, No Binge 179= 239

Total- Binge 190, No Binge 429= 619

Chi square test- DF- 1, Value- 5.7188575, P-Value- 0.0168

At the 0.05 level of significance, do we reject the null hypothesis

At the 0.01 level of significance, do we reject the null hypothesis

Solution

since p-value=0.0168 is less than 0.05, reject the null hypothesis at the 0.05 level of significance.

since p-value=0.0168 is greater than 0.01, do not reject the null hypothesis at the 0.01 level of significance.
