x2 = 106.5, table value is 16.92, at 9df
Decision Rule
The calculated chi-square x2 = 106.5 and
table value is 16.92 at 0.05 level of significance (see appendix II for
computation). Since the calculated x2 value is greater than the
table value, the null hypothesis which states that there would be no significant relationship between
existence and single parenthood in Oghara community was rejected
while the alternative research hypothesis which states that there is significant relationship between existence
and single parenthood in Oghara community was accepted.
