STUDY QUESTIONS
1. The sample size was 392 (N = 392) as indicated in the “Introduction.”

2. In Table 1, the c² = 6.45 for the Race of Child.

3). Four null hypotheses were accepted since four c² values were not significant, as indicated in Table 1. No significant results indicate that the null hypotheses are supported or accepted as an accurate reflection of the results of the study.

4. The c² = 21.95 for Marital Status (%): Married/living with partner or Living alone. The symbol next to this c² value indicates that it is statistically significant at p ≤ .001. If alpha (α) = 0.05 for this study, then p is less than α indicates that the c² value is statistically signifi cant.

5. No, p ≤ .001 has a greater significance than p ≤ .05, since the smaller the p value, the more significant the findings. Thus, p ≤ .05 is not as significant as at p ≤ .001.

6. Mean household income has a greater statistically significant value because it is reported significant at p ≤ .001, whereas Education (of adult) is reported significant at p ≤ .05. The smaller the p value, the more significant the findings.

7. Yes, Mean household income is also significant at p ≤ .05, since p ≤ .001 has a greater significance than p ≤ .05. What is significant at p ≤ .001 is also significant at p ≤ .05.

8). There is no difference in Mean household income among the three groups determined by levels of insurance
(uninsured, Medicaid-enrolled, and privately insured).

9. The null hypothesis should be rejected. Mean household income is reported statistically significant at p ≤ .001. Thus, the null hypothesis is rejected when statistical signifi cance is
