A researcher would like to examine whether there is a consistent, predictable relationship between political preference and personality. A sample of 100 students is obtained, and each participant answers questions based on political stances, as well as completes a well-validated test of personality. Participants are then classified as being conservative or liberal, as well as having more of a Type A or Type B personality based on their responses. The results are summarized in the following frequency distribution. Which chi-square value is obtained when conducting a chi-square test for independence? Political Preference Liberal Conservative Type A Personality 23 20 Type B Personality 31 26
