Chi-Square Test for Homogeneity Conclusion
A study investigated whether the distribution of smoking status—defined as current, former, or never—is the same for residents of four different neighborhoods. A chi-square test for homogeneity produced a test statistic of χ² = 19.6 and a p-value of 0.003. Based on these results, which of the following is the most appropriate conclusion?

The distribution of smoking status differs among the four neighborhood populations
B
Smoking status and neighborhood are independent variables
