1.Easy

A sweet manufacturer claims the colour proportions shown in the table. A random sample of 150 sweets gives the observed counts. Compute the chi-square goodness-of-fit statistic χ² for H₀: the claimed proportions are correct.

n = 150k = 3

χ² =

2.Easy

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.

n = 100k = 4

χ² =

3.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.

N = 1602 × 3

χ² =

4.Medium

The contingency table shows observed counts. For a chi-square test of independence, find the expected count E for the cell “day shift, major”.

row total = 39column total = 58N = 139

E =

5.Hard

A chi-square goodness-of-fit test compares observed counts in 5 categories with fully specified expected proportions (no parameters are estimated from the data). Using the table, find the critical value χ²_crit at significance level α = 0.05.

α = 0.05

χ²_crit =

6.Hard

A chi-square goodness-of-fit test checks whether counts in 5 categories follow a Poisson distribution whose mean is estimated from the same data. How many degrees of freedom df does the test have?

k = 5

df =

Answer key

1. χ² = 0.9089
2. χ² = 2.052
3. χ² = 14.34
4. E = 16.27
5. χ²_crit = 9.488
6. df = 3
