The test statistics is:
Degrees of freedom = (r-1) (c-1)
(2-1) (5-1) = 1*4 = 4
At 5% level of significance
χ2 = 9.488
Table value = 13.063

20. INTERPRETATION
Since the calculated value (13.063) is greater than the
table value (9.488), we reject the null hypothesis and
accept the alternative hypothesis. Hence it is clear
that stress management has significant impact on the
job satisfaction.
