a. Find the expected frequencies. Note: You will first need to compute the row totals, column totals, and grand total.

b. Determine the value of the chi-square statistic.

c. Decide at the5%significance level whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the two variables are associated.

Step by step solution

01

part (a) Step 1: Given information:

Given in the question that, we have presented a contingency table that gives a cross-classification of a random sample of values for two variables, xand y, of a population.

We need to find the expected frequencies.

02

Part(a) Step 2: Explanation

The values of two variables xand ypicked from a random sample of a population are classified in the table below.

localid="1653738509387" yxABa1020b4030

The anticipated frequency is calculated as localid="1653738515030" E=R·Cn,where localid="1653738523116" Rrepresents the row total, localid="1653738529573" Crepresents the column total, and localid="1653738583207" nrepresents the sample size.

Determine the totals for each row and column:

localid="1653738588542" yxABTotala102030b403070Total5050100

Using the equation localid="1653738593262" E=R·C100the following table shows the computed anticipated frequencies:

yxABTotala151530b353570Total5050100

03

Part(b) Step 1: Given information

Given in the question that, we have presented a contingency table that gives a cross-classification of a random sample of values for two variables, xand y, of a population.

We need to find the value of the chi-square statistic .

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

The statistics of the chi-square test

χ2=∑(O-E)2E,

observed frequency is O

Calculate the test statistics as follows:

χ2=(10-15)2/15+(40-35)2/35+(20-15)2/15+(30-35)2/35

=4.7619

05

Part(c) Step 1: Given information

Given in the question that, we have presented a contingency table that gives a cross-classification of a random sample of values for two variables, xand y, of a population.

We need to find that whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the two variables are associated at the5% significance level

06

Part(c) Step 2: Explanation

If the test statistic value is greater than χα2with degrees of freedom, reject the null hypothesis.

df=(r-1)(c-1)

Establish the hypotheses:

H0:The variables xand ydo not have any relationship.

Ha: The variables xand yhave a relationship

α=5%=0.05

Table can be used to determine the crucial value.Vwith df=(2-1)(2-1)=1

χ0.052=3.841

The value of the calculated test statistics

4.7619>3.841⇒RejectH0

At a 5percent significance level, there is sufficient evidence to indicate the presence of an association between the variables x and y.

Presidential Election. According to Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections, in the 2012 presidential election, 51.01%of those voting voted for the Democratic candidate (Barack H. Obama), whereas 57.50%of those voting who lived in Illinois did so. For that presidential election, does an association exist between the variables "party of presidential candidate voted for" and "state of residence" for those who voted? Explain your answer.

For a χ2-curve with 19degrees of freedom determine the χ2-value that has area.

a. 0.025to its right

b. 0.01to its right.

The t-table has entries for areas of 0.10,0.05,0.025,0.01and0.005. In contrast, the χ2-table has entries for those areas and for 0.995,0.99,0.975,0.95and 0.90.Explain why the t-values corresponding to these additional areas can be obtained from the existing t-table but must be provided explicitly in the χ2-table.

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 mâ‹…n.
