A researcher was interested if there is a relationship between marital status (single or married) and type of television program preferred (drama, comedy, action, or documentary) . 48 married and 52 single individuals indicted their preferred program type. A chi-square test of independence was conducted. α = .05, = 8.14, and . Which of the following is correct for reporting the results?


A) Reject H₀, χ² (3 df, n = 100) = 8.14, p < .05.
B) Reject H₀, χ² (7 df, n = 100) = 8.14, p < .05.
C) Reject H₀, χ² (df = 98) = 8.14, p < .05.
