Characteristics of the
Chi-Square Distribution
15 - 4
… it is positively skewed
… it is non-negative
… it is based on degrees of freedom
…when the degrees of freedom change
a new distribution is created

Goodness-of-Fit Test:
Equal Expected Frequencies

Let f0 and fe be the observed and expected
frequencies respectively
H0: There is no difference between the
observed and expected frequencies
H1: There is a difference between the
observed and the expected frequencies

Hypothesis Test
Step 1
H0: There is no difference in absence rate by
day of the week…
(120+45+60+90+130)/5 = 89
H1: Absence rates by day are not all equal
Step 2 = 0.05

Step 4
Use Chi-Square test
Degrees of freedom (5-1) = 4
Reject H0 if c2 > 9.488. (see Appendix I)

A U.S. Bureau of the Census indicated that…
Married

A sample of 500 adults from the Philadelphia area showed:

At the .05 significance level, can we conclude that the
Philadelphia area is different from the U.S. as a whole?

Goodness-of-Fit Test:
Normality
15 - 16
… the test investigates
if the observed frequencies in a frequency distribution
match the theoretical normal distribution
…to determine the mean and standard deviation
of the frequency distribution
- Compute the z-value for the lower class limit
and the upper class limit for each class
- Determine fe for each category
- Use the chi-square goodness-of-fit test to
determine if fo coincides with fe

A sample of 500 donations to the Arthritis
Foundation is reported in the
following frequency distribution
Is it reasonable to conclude that the distribution is
normally distributed with a mean of $10 and a
standard deviation of $2?

A contingency table is used to investigate
whether two traits or characteristics
are related
… each observation is classified according to two criteria
…the usual hypothesis testing procedure is used
… the degrees of freedom is equal to:
(number of rows -1)(number of columns -1)
… the expected frequency is computed as:
Expected Frequency = (row total)(column total)/grand total

Is there a relationship between the
location of an accident and the gender
of the person involved in the accident?
A sample of 150 accidents reported to the
police were classified by type and gender.
At the .05 level of significance, can we
conclude that gender and the location of
the accident are related?
