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.
Chi-square tests worksheet with answers
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.
The contingency table shows observed counts. For a chi-square test of independence, find the expected count E for the cell “staff, bike”.
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 4 categories with fully specified expected proportions (no parameters are estimated from the data). How many degrees of freedom df does the test have?
A chi-square test of independence is carried out on a contingency table with 2 rows and 3 columns (not counting the totals). Using the table, find the critical value χ²crit at significance level α = 0.01.
Answer key
- 1. χ² = 10.92
- 2. χ² = 27.72
- 3. E = 17.17
- 4. E = 24.23
- 5. df = 3
- 6. χ²crit = 9.21
