The dependent variable for this Chi-Squared was parent engagement. This was asked on a 0-10 scale. The independent variable for this ANOVA was household income. Respondents chose either “Less than $10,000”, “$10,000 – $30,999”, “$31,000 – $50,999”, “$51,000 – $70,999”, “$71,000 – $90,999”, “$91,000 or more”, or “Prefer not to answer”. The total number of households with low engagement was eight while the total number of households with high engagement was 44. The p-value for this set of data was not significant at any level. The chi-squared is 0.11, this is used to measure the differences between the observed and expected frequencies for this set of variables.
