A dihybrid cross is expected to give offspring in the ratio 9 : 3 : 3 : 1. Among 160 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 320 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. 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 “day shift, minor”.
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 = 50.58
- 2. χ² = 40.36
- 3. χ² = 0.975
- 4. E = 33.26
- 5. χ² = 0.369
- 6. df = 8
