A die is rolled 90 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.
Chi-square tests worksheet with answers
A sweet manufacturer claims the colour proportions shown in the table. A random sample of 100 sweets gives the observed counts. Compute the chi-square goodness-of-fit statistic χ² for H₀: the claimed proportions are correct.
The contingency table shows observed counts. For a chi-square test of independence, find the expected count E for the cell “staff, bike”.
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 8 categories with fully specified expected proportions (no parameters are estimated from the data). Using the table, find the critical value χ²crit at significance level α = 0.01.
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?
Answer key
- 1. χ² = 7.067

- 3. E = 17.52
- 4. χ² = 29.67
- 5. χ²crit = 18.48
- 6. df = 3
