4. For assessment of independence of two alternative properties the χ 2 -test of independence has been applied, giving the resulting test criterion value χ2 = 5.26.

The decision :
a) the null hypothesis of independence can be rejected at α = 0.01 significance level, it cannot be rejected at α = 0.05 significance level;
b) the null hypothesis of independence can be rejected at α = 0.05 significance level, it cannot be rejected at α = 0.01 significance level;
c) the null hypothesis of independence cannot be rejected at any of the significance levels given;
d) we reject the null hypothesis of independence at the α = 0.05 significance level,as well as at the
α = 0.01 significance level;
e) none of the answers above is correct.
