If we run the chi-square test and we get a .02 p-value to support the null hypothesis, this means:
A) there is NOT adequate support for the null hypothesis.
B) there is NO association between the two nominal variables.
C) there is only a 2 percent chance that the two nominal variables are systematically related.
D) there is a significant association between the two ratio variables, and this information alone is adequate to explain the nature of the association.
E)there is a significant association between the two nominal/ordinal variables, but we still need to check the direction of the association.
