Assignment in MCC 202 (Statistics with Laboratory) in Power Point Session 5 Chi-

Square Test
Submitted by: Ma. Roche D. Caro
Solve the problem by following the steps sequentially, the steps of hypothesis
testing.
Test the hypothesis if hypertension is related is related to the drinking habits
among 200 males respondents in a certain locality as shown below.

Non Drinkers Moderate Heavy Total

Drinkers Drinkers
With 22 42 54 118
Hypertension
Without 45 22 15 82
Hypertension
Total 67 64 69 200

Solution:
1. Ho: There is no significant relationship between Hypertension and drinking
habits among 200 males in the locality.
Ha: There is a significant relationship between hypertension and drinking
habits among 200 males in the locality.
2. a = .05 since the significant level is not specified
3. Chi (X2)-test
4. Find the tabular value
Degree of Freedom = (row classification-1) (column classification-1)
Df= (r-1) (c-1)
r = 2, male classification with hypertension and without hypertension
c = 3, drinking habits classified as Non- drinker, Moderate drinker, Heavy
drinker
df = (2-1) (3-1) = 2
Tabular value = 5.99 with a = .05 ( found in appendix of Chi Square table).
 5. Computation
A. Compute for expected frequency (FE)
Formula:
Expected Fe = (row total) (column total)
Grand total

Fe (22) = (118) (67)/200 = 39.53

Fe (45) = (82) (67)/200 = 27.47
Fe (42) = (118) (64)/200 = 37.76
Fe (22) = (82) (64)/200 = 26.24
Fe (54) = (118) (69)/200 = 40.71
Fe (15) = (82) (69)/200 = 28.29

Observed 22 45 42 22 54 15
frequency
Expected 39.53 27.47 37.76 26.24 40.71 28.29
Frequency

Compute X2 value
Formula:
X2 = ∑(Of – E )2/expected frequency
OF 22 45 42 22 54 15
EF 39.53 27.47 37.76 26.24 40.71 28.29
(O-E) -17.53 17.53 4.24 -4.24 13.29 -13.29
(O-E)2 307.30 307.30 17.98 17.98 176.62 176.62
(O-E)2/ef 7.77 11.19 .48 .69 4.32 6.24

X2 = 30.69
Decision:
Since computed value is 30.69 more than the tabular value of 5.99 ( Ho) null
hypothesis is rejected. It means there is a significant relationship between
hypertension and drinking habits among 200 males in the locality.
