State the null and alternate hypotheses.

H0: Myers-Briggs preference and professionare independent

H1: Myers-Briggs preference and profession areindependent.H0: Myers-Briggs preference andprofession are not independent
H1: Myers-Briggs preference and profession arenot independent.

p-value > 0.1000.050 < p-value <0.100    0.025 < p-value <0.0500.010 < p-value < 0.0250.005 <p-value < 0.010p-value < 0.005


(d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject orfail to reject the null hypothesis of independence?

Since the P-value > α, we fail to rejectthe null hypothesis.Since the P-value > α, wereject the null hypothesis.    Since theP-value ≤ α, we reject the null hypothesis.Sincethe P-value ≤ α, we fail to reject the nullhypothesis.
