Chi-Square Analysis

## X-squared 
##   28.6645
## [1] 8.606691e-08
## 
##  Pearson's Chi-squared test with Yates' continuity correction
## 
## data:  table(chi_1$`Native Hawaiian Status`, chi_1$`Belief in Higher Power`)
## X-squared = 28.665, df = 1, p-value = 8.607e-08

The results of the chi-square test are significant with a p-value of less than .001, suggesting there is a significant difference in responding for this item. The proportion of Native Hawaiians who responded that a belief in a higher power is important to their wellbeing is significantly larger than the proportion of Non-Hawaiians who responded that a belief in a higher power is important to their wellbeing.

\[X^2 = 28.665, df = 1, p < .001\]
