A sweet manufacturer claims the colour proportions shown in the table. A random sample of 200 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 300 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 “urban, 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.
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 goodness-of-fit test compares observed counts in 9 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 = 23.72
- 2. χ² = 17.12
- 3. E = 37.41
- 4. χ² = 16.82
- 5. χ² = 60.01
- 6. df = 8
