Provide a rationale for your answer.A.xc2xa0xc2xa0 Student age (x) did significantly predict months to completion (y). Therefore, the equaxc2xadtion will accurately predict future values of y.B.xc2xa0xc2xa0xc2xa0 Student age (x) did not significantly predict months to completion (y). Therefore, the equaxc2xadtion will not accurately predict future values of y.Answer: Choose an item.Exercise 35: Calculating Pearson Chi-SquareQuestions to Be GradedThe following questions refer to the section called xe2x80x9cData for Additional Computational Practicexe2x80x9d in Exercise 35 of Grove & Cipher, 2017.1.xc2xa0xc2xa0xc2xa0xc2xa0 Do the example data in Table 35-2 meet the assumptions for the Pearson xcfx872 test?
