Notes: Chi-square statistic is to test the hypothesis that differences in means across the subsamples are zero for all five variables for Arkansas and Georgia and all but the merit variable for the rest of the United States. The chi-square statistic has 20 degrees of freedom for Arkansas and Georgia and 16 degrees of freedom for the rest of the United States.
