Consider the 2 × 3 (i.e., r = 2 and c = 3) contingency table shown below.

a. Specify the null and alternative hypotheses that should be used in testing the independence of the row and column classifications.
b. Specify the test statistic and the rejection region that should be used in conducting the hypothesis test of part a. Use α = .01.
c. Assuming the row classification and the column classification are independent, find estimates for the expected cell counts.
d. Conduct the hypothesis test of part a. Interpret your result.
