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.
Chi-square tests worksheet with answers
A die is rolled 60 times to test whether it is fair. The counts of each face are shown. Compute the chi-square goodness-of-fit statistic χ² for H₀: each face has probability 1/6.
The contingency table shows observed counts. For a chi-square test of independence, find the expected count E for the cell “students, bus”.
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.
A chi-square goodness-of-fit test compares observed counts in 11 categories with fully specified expected proportions (no parameters are estimated from the data). How many degrees of freedom df does the test have?
The table shows observed counts. Test at α = 0.01 whether the two variables are independent (no continuity correction). Compute the test statistic χ², then compare it with the critical value from the table.
Answer key
- 1. χ² = 40.67
- 2. χ² = 2
- 3. E = 27.25
- 4. χ² = 29.46
- 5. df = 10
- 6. χ² = 12.4
