2The significance test for independenceThis test is used when data are classified according to two different factors or
attributes and these are often displayed in a table, known as a .contingency table

This data displays examination grades in
three American further education colleges.
This is an example of a contingency
table ( rows and columns).
2A test is used to investigate whether the two factors (here, "examination grade"
and "college") are independent or whether there is an association between them.

The test follows a similar pattern to the goodness-of-fit test, but now the null
hypothesis is that the two factors are independent and the alternative hypothesis
is that there is an association b
