58 Japanese students chose A, opening a new shop, and 84 Japanese students chose B, getting employed at the compnay. The chi-square=4.76 between the two numbers indicates that most of Japanese students would rather get a stable position than taking a chance of making your dream come true. 4.76 is larger than 3.841 (p=0.05level)
On the other hand, 13 American students chose A and only one person chose B. The chi-square=10.28 of the two numbers indicates that most of American students would try to make their dreams come true. 10.28 is larger than 6.635 (p=0.01)
Comparing the two groups, the chi-square=13.9 clearly indicates that the two groups have the culturally different criteria for the decision-making. The Japanese group tend to seek stability in life, whereas the America group tend to go after their dreams.
