This module provides a practice on Chi-Square Distribution as a part of Collaborative Statistics collection (col10522) by Barbara Illowsky and Susan Dean.

Student learning outcomes

  • The student will conduct a test for independence using contingency tables.

Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if smoking level and ethnicity are independent.

Collect the data

Copy the data provided in Probability Topics Practice 1: Contingency Tables into the table below.

Smoking levels by ethnicity (observed)
Smoking Level Per Day African American Native Hawaiian Latino Japanese Americans White TOTALS
1-10
11-20
21-30
31+
TOTALS

Hypothesis

State the hypotheses.

  • H o : size 12{H rSub { size 8{O} } :} {}
  • H a : size 12{H rSub { size 8{a} } :} {}

Expected values

Enter expected values in the above below. Round to two decimal places.

Analyze the data

Calculate the following values:

Chi 2 size 12{ ital "Chi" rSup { size 8{2} } } {} test statistic =

10301.8
