(a)

Some observed frequencies are zero which is suspicious.

(b)

Hypotheses are:

H0: The two variables Political affiliation and religious preference are independent.

Ha: The two variables Political affiliation and religious preference are not independent.

Following is the output of chi square test statistics

Republican    10 10 40 20 20 100

220.00 chi-square

2.37E-40 p-value
.663 Phi coefficient
.383 Cramér's V

The p-value of the test is;

p-value = 0.0000

Since p-value is less than 0.05 so we reject the null hypothesis.

That is we can not conclude that the two variables Political affiliation and religious preference are independent.

(c)

The effect size is: 0.663

It is large effect size.
