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.
Chi-square tests worksheet with answers
A die is rolled 240 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. 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”.
A chi-square goodness-of-fit test compares observed counts in 4 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 = 0.05.
A chi-square goodness-of-fit test compares observed counts in 10 categories with fully specified expected proportions (no parameters are estimated from the data). How many degrees of freedom df does the test have?
Answer key
- 1. χ² = 30.18
- 2. χ² = 5.5
- 3. χ² = 31.82
- 4. E = 39.22
- 5. χ²crit = 7.815
- 6. df = 9
