Johnson (1973) studied several different managerial aspects of university associated schools of nursing. Among the data she collected were the "extent of agreement (between the dean and the faculty) on the responsibilities for decision making" and "faculty satisfaction." The ranks on the two variables for the 12 institutions that were involved in Johnson's study are presented in Table 8.7.
Test the hypothesis of independence versus the alternative that faculty/dean decision making agreement and faculty satisfaction are negatively correlated in university schools of nursing. (Note: Low ranks are associated with poor faculty satisfaction and little faculty/dean decision-making agreement, respectively.)
