Registrar's Office conducted a study of independence between two binary variables, (X, Y ). Variable X indicates individual performance (High or Low) and Y characterizes a student's status (Graduate or Undergraduate). A group of n = 600 respondents has shown summaries as follows.

OBSERVED FREQUENCIES

Undergraduate Graduate Row Sum
High 311 139 450
Low 89 61 150
Column Sum 400 200 600

EXPECTED COUNTS

Undergraduate Graduate Row Sum
High 450
Low 150
Column Sum 400 200 600

Test independence of (X, Y ) at the significance level = 0.05
