    We decline to reject the null hypothesis. There is not enough evidence to suggest that the observed test scores are significantly different from the expected test scores.

        Answers will vary. Sample answer: Tests of independence and tests for homogeneity both calculate the test statistic the same way \(\sum_{(i j)} \frac{(O-E)^{2}}{E}\). In addition, all values must be greater than or equal to five.
