Question 54

Dr. Vance gathered quantitative data by tallying how often a sample of Year 12 and Year 13 students chose to use either a printed textbook or a digital tablet during their independent study sessions in the sixth form centre. Dr. Vance recorded the study medium of 25 Year 12 students and 25 Year 13 students over a morning study period. The data is displayed in Table 1.

Calculate the chi-squared value for this data by completing Table 2.
