Working with independent assortment
Table 3-1
Generally, a hypothesis is rejected as false if there is a probability of less than 5% of observinga deviation from expectations at least as large as the one actually observed. In other words, thereis a less than 5% probability that the deviation between the observed and expected values is becauseof chance.
