Conclusion: Since Z cal < -1.96 , we reject H 0 and accept H1, ie. m1 < m2 at the
5% level of significance.

Because the computed value of chi-square lies in the region to the left side of
13.277, the null hypothesis is accepted at the 0.01 level. We conclude there is no
relationship between the type of community where person resides and the portion of
the paper read first

There is a strong positive relationship between the age of a machine(x) and the
number of breakdowns(y) []
94% of the variation in the number breakdowns(y) is due to the changes in the age
