Do women have different patterns of work behavior than men? The article “Workaholism in Organizations: Gender Differences” (Sex Roles: A Journal of Research [1999]: 333–346) attempts to answer this question. Each person in a random sample of 423 graduates of a business school in Canada were polled and classified by gender and workaholism type, resulting in the accompanying table:

a. Test the hypothesis that gender and workaholism type are independent.

b. The author writes “women and men fell into each of the six workaholism types to a similar degree.” Does the outcome of the test you performed in Part (a) support this conclusion? Explain.
