Suppose the study described in the previous question was conducted by a colleague.  He tells you that based on a chi-square distribution with 2 degrees of freedom, his p-value was 0.11, and he concludes that the proportions are not the same across health status categories.  Do you agree with his conclusion? Yes, by rejecting the null hypothesis, it does appear that the proportions are not the same.     Yes.  He should have not rejected the null hypothesis and concluded that they do not appear to be related.     Yes. a p-value > 0.05 always indicates that variables are related regardless of the test conducted
