EXERCISE 40 Questions to be Graded 1. According to the “Introduction,” what categories were reported to be statistically significant?
The introductory paragraph of the article shows that the three groups in income, working status, and education, health status of the adult and child, and the utilization of health care are statistically significant.

2. In Table 1, is the No. In household reported as statistically significant among the three groups (uninsured, Medicaid, and privately insured)? Provide a rationale for your answer.
The results in table 1 suggest that the number of households with a magnitude of 3.79 is statistically insignificant. The reason behind this is that there is no sign mentioned on the magnitude. This means that the significant value for this magnitude would be greater than the level of significance mentioned in the article.

3. Should the null hypothesis for Marital Status (%) be rejected? Provide a rationale for your answer.
The result in table 1 suggests that the null hypothesis for the Martial status should be rejected. As the magnitude of X2 i.e. 3.79 is insignificant. Insignificant results indicate that the null hypotheses are supported or accepted.

4. How many null hypotheses were rejected in the Salsberry (2003) study? Provide a rationale for your answer.
Six of the overall null hypotheses were rejected since six X2 values were significant, as indicated in Table 1. Significant results indicate that the null hypotheses are not supported or not accepted.

5. Does Marital Status or Education (of adults) have a greater statistically significant difference among the three groups (uninsured, Medicaid, or privately insured)? Provide a rationale for your answer.
It can be suggested that the marital status have a greater statistically significant difference over education among the three groups
