Module 5 CHI SQUARE

PROBLEM:
Note: The chi-square test is frequently used to determine if two or more populations are
homogenous
Instruction

1. Set your null and alternative hypothesis

2. Set your degree of freedom
3. Set your tabular value
4. Set/find your computed value of chi-square
5. State your computed value

In an experiment involving two groups of samples, 100 males and 100 females, subjects were
asked to state a preference between frozen orange juice and newly developed type of
preserved juice. Do the preferences of the two groups differ? Use 1% level of significance.
Orange Juice Preference

Sex Frozen Preserved

Males 69 31
Females 48 52

SOLUTION:

1. Set the null and alternative hypothesis

 H0 = the preferences of the two groups are same.
 Ha = the preferences of the two groups differ.

2. Set your degree of freedom

 The degrees of freedom is computed as follows:

DF = (r – 1) (c – 1)
DF = (2 – 1) (2 – 1)
DF = 1
3. Set your tabular value
 The tabular value at 1 DF and 1% significance level is :
2
𝑋𝑐𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙 = 6.635

4. Set your computed value of chi-square

 We are given the below observed counts:

Sex Frozen Preserved Total

Males 69 31 100
Females 48 52 100
Total 117 83 200
 The expected counts are calculated as:

Sex Frozen Preserved Total

Males 117 X 100 83 X 100 100
= 𝟓𝟖. 𝟓 = 𝟒𝟏. 𝟓
200 200
Females 117 X 100 83 X 100 100
= 𝟓𝟖. 𝟓 = 𝟒𝟏. 𝟓
200 200
Total 117 83 200
 Then we substitute the values into the formula:
( 𝑂−𝐸)2
𝑋2 = Σ
𝐸
( 69 − 58.5)2 ( 31 − 41.5)2 ( 48 − 58.5)2 ( 52 − 41.5)2
𝑋2 = + + +
58.5 41.5 58.5 41.5
𝑋 2 = 1.8846 + 2.6566 + 1.8846 + 2.6566

𝑿𝟐 = 𝟗. 𝟎𝟖𝟐

5. Set your conclusion

 Therefore, the computed value is:

𝑿𝟐𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒖𝒕𝒆𝒅 = 𝟗. 𝟎𝟖𝟐

 6.635 (tabular value) < 9.082 (computed value), Since the chi square test
statistics falls in the rejection region, we, therefore reject the null hypothesis
and conclude that the preferences of the two groups differ at the 1%
significance level.
