Based on data collected by the U.S. General Social Survey, a researcher examines the frequency with which adults responded to two questions. The first asked people if they resided in the same city or town now as when they were 16 years old (Residence). The second asked if they found life generally exciting, routine, or dull (Life).

The χ2 test is a non-parametric test.

Question

Based on data collected by the U.S. General Social Survey, a researcher examines the frequency with which adults responded to two questions. The first asked people if they resided in the same city or town now as when they were 16 years old (Residence). The second asked if they found life generally exciting, routine, or dull (Life). Using data from 2,791 people, the results are below.

	Life is Generally:
Living in:	Exciting	Routine	Dull	Marginal n
Same City or Town	O = 489 E =	O = 601 E =	O = 64 E =	1154
Different Area	O = 797 E =	O = 763 E =	O = 77 E =	1637
Marginal n	1286	1364	141	2791

Using the chi-square (χ²) test for independence, examine if the feelings people have about life in general are related to living in the same city or town as when a teen.
