13. Generational Differences in Workplace Attitudes. In 2015,
Addison Group (a provider of professional staffing services) and
Kelton (a global insights firm) surveyed the work preferences and
attitudes of 1,006 working adults spread over three generations:
baby boomers, Generation X, and millennials (Society for Human
Resource Management website,
https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/hr-topics/talent-acquisition/pages
/millennials-raises-promotions-generations.aspx). In one question,
individuals were asked if they would leave their current job to
make more money at another job. The file Millennials contains the
sample data, which are also summarized in the following
table.

Conduct a test of independence to determine whether interest in
leaving a current job for more money is independent of employee
generation. What is the p-value? Using a 0.05 level of significance,
what is your conclusion?
