Question 130

Physical Activity and Stress Levels

Researchers investigated the relationship between physical activity and stress levels in working adults. They sampled 50 participants, categorising them as either 'Physically Active' or 'Sedentary' based on self-reported weekly exercise, and measuring their perceived stress level as 'High' or 'Low' using a validated scale. The raw contingency data is summarised in Table 1.

Significance Level (ppp)0.100.050.01
Critical value (df=1df = 1df=1)2.713.846.63

Using the calculated Chi-square value of χ2=6.65\chi^2 = 6.65χ2=6.65, write a significance statement for the analysis performed on this data.
