A sweet manufacturer claims the colour proportions shown in the table. A random sample of 400 sweets gives the observed counts. Compute the chi-square goodness-of-fit statistic χ² for H₀: the claimed proportions are correct.
Chi-square tests worksheet with answers
A sweet manufacturer claims the colour proportions shown in the table. A random sample of 300 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. Compute the chi-square statistic χ² for the test of independence between the row and column variables. Do not use a continuity correction.
The contingency table shows observed counts. For a chi-square test of independence, find the expected count E for the cell “staff, bus”.
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.
A chi-square test of independence is carried out on a contingency table with 2 rows and 4 columns (not counting the totals). How many degrees of freedom df does the test have?
Answer key
- 1. χ² = 52.55
- 2. χ² = 16.28
- 3. χ² = 6.827
- 4. E = 30.82
- 5. χ² = 22.6
- 6. df = 3
