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.
Chi-square tests worksheet with answers
A sweet manufacturer claims the colour proportions shown in the table. A random sample of 100 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 “urban, high”.
A chi-square goodness-of-fit test compares observed counts in 8 categories with fully specified expected proportions (no parameters are estimated from the data). How many degrees of freedom df does the test have?
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.
Answer key
- 1. χ² = 10.96
- 2. χ² = 5.813
- 3. χ² = 0.4444
- 4. E = 22.32
- 5. df = 7
- 6. χ² = 20.33
