Question: Research indicates that people who volunteer to participate in research studies tend to have higher intelligence than non-volunteers. To test this phenomenon, a researcher obtains a sample of 200 high school students. The students are given a description of a psychological research study and asked whether or not they would volunteer to participate. The researcher also obtains an IQ score for each student and classifies the students into high, medium, and low IQ groups. Do the following data indicate a significant relationship between IQ and volunteering?

Volunteer 43 73 34 150

Not Volunteer 7 27 16 50

Total 50 100 50
