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.

12.73 two and two

Short Answer

Expert verified

Ans: The maximum number of expected frequencies that can be less than 5 by using Assumption 2 is 0.8.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

given,

two and two

02

Step 2. First, determine the maximum number of expected frequencies that can be less than 5 by using Assumption 2. 

Assumption:

  1. All expected frequencies are at least 1.
  2. At most 20% of the expected frequencies are less than 5.
  3. All the selected samples should be a simple random samples.
03

Step 3. Now,

According to the given information, the number of possible values for the first variable is 2 and the number of possible values for the second variable is 2. Therefore, there are 4(=2×2)expected frequencies.

The maximum number of expected frequencies that can be less than 5, by using Assumption 2 is,

role="math" localid="1651858021684" 20%of20=20100×4=0.8

Hence, the maximum number of expected frequencies that can be less than 5 by using Assumption 2 is 0.8.

Consider two χ2curves with degrees of freedom 12and 20respectively. which one more closely resembles a normal curve? Explain your answer.

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, 0.4, 0.3, 0.1

Observed frequencies: 39, 78, 64, 19

Significance level = 0.05

To decide whether two variables of a population are associated, we usually need to resort to inferential methods such as the chi-square independence test. Why?

P.Noakes et al. researched the effects of fatty acids found in oily fish on lowering the risk of allergic disease in the article "Increased Intake of Oily Fish in Pregnancy: Effects on Neonatal Immune Responses and on Clinical Outcomes in Infants at 6Mo.". Pregnant women were randomly assigned to continue their habitual diet (control group), which was low in oily fish, or to consume two portions of salmon per week (treatment group). Their infants were clinically evaluated at 6months of age and the frequency of many different symptoms was recorded. Of the 37infants in the control group,12had symptoms of dry skin; and of the 45 infants in the experimental group, 14had symptoms of dry skin. At thedata-custom-editor="chemistry" 5%significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists in the proportions of infants who have symptoms of dry skin at6 months between those whose mothers continue their habitual diet and those whose mothers consume two portions of salmon per week?

Part (a): Use the two-portionsz-test to perform the required hypothesis test.

Part (b): Use the chi-square homogeneity test to perform the required hypothesis test.

Part (c): Compare your results in parts (a) and (b).

Part (d): Explain what principle is being illustrated.
