INTERPRETATION
The result of the chi – square test reveals that the calculated chi – square value (60.24) is greater
than the table chi – square value (41.34) at 5% level of significance and therefore, there is
relationship between price and age. Thus, the hypothesis is that the relationship between the two
factors does hold good. Hence, the null hypothesis is not accepted.
