Get started for freeRegarding the expected-frequency assumptions for a chi-square goodness-of-fit test, a chi-square independence test, or a chi-square homogeneity test,
a. state them.
b. how important are they?
To decide whether two variables of a population are associated, we usually need to resort to inferential methods such as the chi-square independence test. Why?
Suppose that you have bivariate data for an entire population.
a. How would you decide whether an association exists between the two variables under consideration?
b. Assuming that you make no calculation mistakes, could your conclusion be in error? Explain your answer.
Loaded Die? A gambler thinks a die may be loaded, that is, that the six numbers are not equally likely. To test his suspicion, he rolled the die 150 times and obtained the data shown in the following table.
Number | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
Frequency | 23 | 26 | 23 | 21 | 31 | 26 |
In given exercise use either the critical-value approach or the P-value approach to perform a chi square independence lest. provided the conditions for using the test are met.
Siskel In the classic TV show Sneak Previews, originally hosted by the late Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert, the two Chicago movie critics reviewed the weeks new movie releases and
then rated them thumbs up (positive), mixed, thumbs down (negative). These two critics often saw the merits of a movie differently. In general, however, were ratings given by Siskel and Ebert
associated? The answer to this question was the focus of the paper "Evaluating Agreement and Disagreement Among Movie Reviewers" by A. Agresti and L. Winner that appeared in Chance
(Vol- 10(2), pp-10-14). The following contingency table summarizes ratings by Siskel and Ebert for 160 movies.
At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that an association exists between ratings of Siskel and Ebert?
