Do the data show that educational attainment and age are independent? Test at the 5% level. Hint: Start by calculating the row and column totals.

The chi-square for this data is thus 22929.63 and the p-value from the chi-square table is 0.0000. Since the p-value is less than alpha value; that is 0.0000 < 0.05, there is sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the educational attainment and age are related.
