Chapter 12: Q. 12.38 (page 499)

Suppose that bivariate data are to be grouped into a contingency table. Determine the number of cells that the contingency table will have if the numbers of possible values for the two variables are

a. two and three.
b. four and three.
c. m and n.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The number of cells are :-

(a) 6

(b) 12

(c)mn

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information

The numbers of possible values for the two variables are two and three.

02

Part (b) Step 2. Number of cells

If the numbers of possible values for the two variables are two and three , then the number of cells are2×3=6.

03

Part (b) Step 1. Given information

The numbers of possible values for the two variables are four and three.

04

Part (b) Step 2. Number of cells

If the numbers of possible values for the two variables are four and three , then the number of cells are4×3=12.

05

Part (c) Step 1. Given information

The numbers of possible values for the two variables are m and n.

06

Part (b) Step 2. Number of cells

If the numbers of possible values for the two variables are m and n , then the number of cells arem×n=mn.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Are the observed frequencies variables? What about the expected frequencies? Explain your answers.

In each of Exercises 12.24-12.33, apply the chi-square goodness-of-fit test, using either the critical-value approach or theP-value approach, to perform the required hypothesis test.
An American roulette wheel contains 18red numbers, 18black numbers, and 2green numbers. The following table shows the frequency with which the ball landed on each color in 200trials.

At the 5%significance level, do the data suggest that the wheel is out of balance?

In each of Exercises 12.18-12.23, we have provided a distribution and the observed frequencies of the values of a variable from a simple random sample of a population. In each case, use the chi-square goodness-of-fit test to decide, at the specified significance level, whether the distribution of the variable differs from the given distribution.

Distribution: 0.2,0.1,0.1,0.3,0.3

Observed frequencies: 29,13,5,25,28

Significance level =0.10

Although the chi-square homogeneity test and the chi-square independence test use essentially the same basic procedure, the context of the two tests are quite different. Explain the difference.

In each of the given Exercises, we have given the number of possible values for two variables of a population. For each exercise, determine the maximum number of expected frequencies that can be less than 5 in order that Assumption 2 of Procedure 12.2 on page 506 to be satisfied. Note: The number of cells for a contingency table with m rows and n columns is m⋅n.
