Chapter 12: Q. 12.9 (page 491)
Why is the phrase "goodness of fit" used to describe the type of hypothesis test considered in this section?
The phrase "goodness of fit" is used because to determine how well the observed frequencies fit the expected frequencies by carrying out the hypothesis test.

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 m鈰卬.
12.73 two and two
In given exercise use either the critical-value approach or the P-value approach to perform a chi square independence lest. provided the conditions for using the test are met.
Siskel In the classic TV show Sneak Previews, originally hosted by the late Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert, the two Chicago movie critics reviewed the weeks new movie releases and
then rated them thumbs up (positive), mixed, thumbs down (negative). These two critics often saw the merits of a movie differently. In general, however, were ratings given by Siskel and Ebert
associated? The answer to this question was the focus of the paper "Evaluating Agreement and Disagreement Among Movie Reviewers" by A. Agresti and L. Winner that appeared in Chance
(Vol- 10(2), pp-10-14). The following contingency table summarizes ratings by Siskel and Ebert for 160 movies.
At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that an association exists between ratings of Siskel and Ebert?
In each of Exercises 12.24-12.33, apply the chi-square goodness-of-fit test, using either the critical-value approach or thevalue approach, to perform the required hypothesis test.
An American roulette wheel contains red numbers, black numbers, and green numbers. The following table shows the frequency with which the ball landed on each color in trials.
At the significance level, do the data suggest that the wheel is out of balance?
