1.Easy

A dihybrid cross is expected to give offspring in the ratio 9 : 3 : 3 : 1. Among 400 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 = 400k = 4

χ² =

2.Easy

A dihybrid cross is expected to give offspring in the ratio 9 : 3 : 3 : 1. Among 160 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 = 160k = 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 = 1202 × 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 “urban, medium”.

row total = 67column total = 34N = 148

E =

5.Hard

A chi-square goodness-of-fit test compares observed counts in 7 categories with fully specified expected proportions (no parameters are estimated from the data). Using the table, find the critical value χ²_crit at significance level α = 0.01.

α = 0.01

χ²_crit =

6.Hard

A chi-square goodness-of-fit test checks whether counts in 5 categories follow a Poisson distribution whose mean is estimated from the same data. How many degrees of freedom df does the test have?

k = 5

df =

Answer key

1. χ² = 14.07
2. χ² = 123.7
3. χ² = 1.406
4. E = 15.39
5. χ²_crit = 16.81
6. df = 3
