A researcher has observed 100 shoppers from three different age groups entering a large discount store and noted the nature of the greeting received by the shopper. Given the results shown here, and using the 0.025 level of significance, can we conclude that the age category of the shopper is independent of the nature of the greet inghe or she receives upon entering the store? Based on the chi-square table, what is the most accurate statement that can be made about the p-value for the test?
