Study Notes
Chi-Square Statistic
- Measures the difference between observed and expected counts.
- Helps validate the hypothesized distribution.
Chi-Square Formula
- Formula: x² = Σ((observed - expected)² / expected).
Sampling Distribution of Chi-Square Statistic
- Not normally distributed; right-skewed with only positive values.
Chi-Square Statistics and Negativity
- Cannot be negative due to the squaring in its calculation.
Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Test
- Significance test for one categorical variable from a single population.
- Assesses consistency of sample data with a hypothesized distribution.
Degrees of Freedom (df) for Goodness of Fit Test
- Calculated as: df = number of categories - 1.
Conditions for Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Test
- RANDOM: Data must come from a random sample or experiment.
- LARGE SAMPLE SIZE: All expected counts should be at least 5.
- INDEPENDENT: Individual observations must be independent; when sampling without replacement, the population should be at least 10 times larger than the sample.
Hypotheses for Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Test
- Null Hypothesis (Ho): Specified distribution of the categorical variable is correct.
- Alternative Hypothesis (Ha): Specified distribution is not correct.
Chi-Square Test Statistic Comparison
- Compares counts, not proportions.
Chi-Square Test for Homogeneity
- Used to test if distributions differ across two or more populations.
Hypotheses for Chi-Square Test for Homogeneity
- Null Hypothesis (Ho): No difference in distribution across populations.
- Alternative Hypothesis (Ha): Difference exists in distribution across populations.
Degrees of Freedom for Chi-Square Test for Homogeneity
- Calculated as: df = (number of rows - 1)(number of columns - 1).
Finding Expected Counts in a Two-Way Table
- Formula: expected count = (row total x column total) / table total.
Conditions for Chi-Square Test for Homogeneity
- Same conditions as the goodness of fit test: RANDOM, LARGE SAMPLE SIZE, INDEPENDENT.
Application of Chi-Square Test for Association/Independence
- Used when examining the relationship between two categorical variables from one population.
Hypotheses for Chi-Square Test for Association/Independence
- Null Hypothesis (Ho): No association between the two categorical variables.
- Alternative Hypothesis (Ha): An association exists between the two categorical variables.
Types of Tables for Homogeneity and Association Tests
- Both tests utilize a two-way table for analysis.
Differences Between Tests for Homogeneity and Association/Independence
- Homogeneity tests involve several populations, while association/independence tests focus on one population.
