1.Easy

A sweet manufacturer claims the colour proportions shown in the table. A random sample of 80 sweets gives the observed counts. Compute the chi-square goodness-of-fit statistic χ² for H₀: the claimed proportions are correct.

n = 80k = 3

χ² =

2.Easy

A dihybrid cross is expected to give offspring in the ratio 9 : 3 : 3 : 1. Among 320 offspring the counts shown are observed. Compute the chi-square goodness-of-fit statistic χ² for H₀: the ratio is 9 : 3 : 3 : 1.

n = 320k = 4

χ² =

3.Medium

The contingency table shows observed counts. Compute the chi-square statistic χ² for the test of independence between the row and column variables. Do not use a continuity correction.

N = 1602 × 2

χ² =

4.Medium

The contingency table shows observed counts. For a chi-square test of independence, find the expected count E for the cell “night shift, minor”.

row total = 56column total = 39N = 153

E =

5.Hard

A chi-square test of independence is carried out on a contingency table with 2 rows and 2 columns (not counting the totals). How many degrees of freedom df does the test have?

2 × 2

df =

6.Hard

The table shows observed counts. Test at α = 0.05 whether the two variables are independent (no continuity correction). Compute the test statistic χ², then compare it with the critical value from the table.

N = 1803 × 2α = 0.05

χ² =

Answer key

1. χ² = 5
2. χ² = 4.422
3. χ² = 1.707
4. E = 14.27
5. df = 1
6. χ² = 3.403
