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 “rural, low”.
A chi-square test of independence is carried out on a contingency table with 2 rows and 4 columns (not counting the totals). 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 9 categories follow a Poisson distribution whose mean is estimated from the same data. Using the table, find the critical value χ²crit at significance level α = 0.01.
Answer key
- 1. χ² = 4.688

- 3. χ² = 5.45
- 4. E = 26.76
- 5. χ²crit = 11.35
- 6. χ²crit = 18.48
