Above $75,000 36 23 59

Total 156 174 330

Step 1 of 8: State the null and alternative hypothesis. Step 2of 8: Find the expected value for the number of men with an incomebelow $25,000. Round your answer to one decimal place. Step 3 of 8:Find the expected value for the number of men with an income$50,000-$75,000. Round your answer to one decimal place. Step 4 of8: Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to threedecimal places. Step 5 of 8: Find the degrees of freedom associatedwith the test statistic for this problem. Step 6 of 8: Find thecritical value of the test at the 0.01 level of significance. Roundyour answer to three decimal places. Step 7 of 8: Make the decisionto reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis at the 0.01 levelof significance. Step 8 of 8: State the conclusion of thehypothesis test at the 0.01 level of significance.

step 1:null hypothesis:salary and gender are independent

alternate hypothesis:Ha salary and gender are not independent

Step 2 of 8: expected value for the number of men with an income below $25,000 =19.4

Step 3 :expected value for the number of men with an income $50,000-$75,000=37.8

Step 4 of 8: value of the test statistic. =28.048

Step 5 of 8:

degree of freedom(df) =(rows-1)*(columns-1)= 3

  Step 6 of 8:

for 3 df and 0.01 level of signifcance critical region       ?2= 11.345

Step 7 of 8:

reject the null hypothesis

Step 8 of 8:there is sufficient evidence........
