A die is rolled 120 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 150 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. For a chi-square test of independence, find the expected count E for the cell “staff, bike”.
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.
A chi-square test of independence is carried out on a contingency table with 3 rows and 3 columns (not counting the totals). Using the table, find the critical value χ²crit at significance level α = 0.01.
A chi-square test of independence is carried out on a contingency table with 2 rows and 11 columns (not counting the totals). How many degrees of freedom df does the test have?
