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.
Chi-square tests worksheet with answers
A dihybrid cross is expected to give offspring in the ratio 9 : 3 : 3 : 1. Among 240 offspring the counts shown are observed. Compute the chi-square goodness-of-fit statistic χ² for H₀: the ratio is 9 : 3 : 3 : 1.
The contingency table shows observed counts. For a chi-square test of independence, find the expected count E for the cell “night shift, minor”.
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 test of independence is carried out on a contingency table with 2 rows and 5 columns (not counting the totals). Using the table, find the critical value χ²crit at significance level α = 0.01.
The table shows observed counts. Test at α = 0.05 whether the two variables are independent (no continuity correction). Compute the test statistic χ², then compare it with the critical value from the table.
Answer key
- 1. χ² = 108.4
- 2. χ² = 300.5
- 3. E = 27.33
- 4. χ² = 2.462
- 5. χ²crit = 13.28
- 6. χ² = 13.3
