New cards
What does chi-square statistic measure?
The distance between values from the observed and expected counts.
2
New cards
What happens to the skewness of the chi square distribution as the df change?
As df decrease, the skewness (to the right) increases, and as df increase, the skewness decreases and the distribution becomes more normal.
3
New cards
Degrees of freedom for a chi square test for goodness of fit?
df = number of categories minus 1
4
New cards
What are the different types of chi square tests?
Goodness of Fit, Homogeneity, Independece
5
New cards
What is a goodness of fit test?
Testing if sample data fits a distribution from a population with a normal distribution (ONE population)
6
New cards
What is a test for independence?
Goal is to determine whether two categorical variables are associated
7
New cards
What is a test for homogeneity?
Goal is to compare distributions of a categorical variable for multiple populations (are they the same?)
8
New cards
A test for goodness of fit has…
A random sample of n and 1 population
9
New cards
A test for homogeneity has…
1 categorical variable and 2 populations
10
New cards
A test for independene has…
2 categorical variable and 1 population
11
New cards
How do you state the null hypothesis for a goodness of fit chi square test?
Equality Statement:

Ho: p1 = p2 =p3 =p4…

and Define parameters (p1, p2, p3, p4…)

“where p1, p2, p3, p4, etc. are the…”
12
New cards
How do you state the alternative hypothesis for a goodness of fit chi square test?
Inequality Statement: (In words)

Ha: “At least one of the proportions is not the same as specified in the null hypothesis”
13
New cards
What are the conditions of a Chi-square goodness of fit test?
Independence:

Random sample/randomized experiment

When sampling without replacement, n ≤ 10% of N

\
Chi Square Distribution:

All expected counts should be greater than 5
14
New cards
How do you find expected counts of a chi square test statistic?
Proportions from null times sample size

Ex: .452(40); .292(40); .256(40)
15
New cards
How do you find expected counts using a two-way table?
(row total)(column total)÷ table total
16
New cards
How do you state the null hypothesis for a chi square test of homogeneity?
Ho: There is no difference in the distribution of (context)
17
New cards
How do you state the alternative hypothesis for a chi square test of homogeneity?
Ha: There is a difference in the distribution of (context)
18
New cards
How do you state the null hypothesis for a chi square test of independence?
Ho: There is no association between (context of two varaibles)
19
New cards
How do you state the alternative hypothesis for a chi square test of independence?
Ha: There is an association between (context of two variables)
20
New cards
What are the conditions of a Chi-square homogeneity test?
Independence:

Stratified random sample or randomized experiment

When sampling without replacement, n ≤ 10% of N

\
Chi Square Distribution:

All expected counts should be greater than 5
21
New cards
What are the conditions of a Chi-square independence test?
Independence:

Single Random Sample

When sampling without replacement, n ≤ 10% of N

\
Chi Square Distribution:

All expected counts should be greater than 5
22
New cards
How do you find the p value of a chi square test for independence or homogeneity?
Use table C:

degrees of freedom

(number of rows -1)x(number of columns -1)
