Question
A fastener manufacturing company uses a chi-square goodness-of-fit test to determine if a population of all lengths of ¼-inch bolts it manufactures is distributed according to a normal distribution. If we reject the null hypothesis, it is reasonable to assume that the population distribution is approximately normally distributed.
Question
The chi-square goodness-of-fit test can only be used to test whether a population has specified multinomial probabilities or to test if a sample has been selected from a normally distributed population. It cannot be used if sample data come from other distribution forms, such as the Poisson.
Question
When we carry out a chi-square test of independence, the expected frequencies are based on the null hypothesis.
Question
The χ2 goodness-of-fit test requires the nominative level of data.
Question
One use of the chi-square goodness-of-fit test is to determine if specified multinomial probabilities in the null hypothesis are favored over the alternative hypothesis.
Question
In a contingency table, if all of the expected frequencies equal the observed frequencies, then we can conclude that there is a perfect association between rows and columns.
Question
The actual counts in the cells of a contingency table are referred to as the expected cell frequencies.
Question
When we carry out a chi-square test of independence, in the alternative hypothesis we state that the two classifications are statistically independent.
Question
When using a chi-square goodness-of-fit test with multinomial probabilities, the rejection of the null hypothesis indicates that at least one of the multinomial probabilities is not equal to the value stated in the null hypothesis.
Question
In a contingency table, when all the expected frequencies equal the observed frequencies, the calculated χ2 statistic equals zero.
Question
A contingency table summarizes data that has been classified into two dimensions or scales.
Question
The trials of a multinomial probability are assumed to be dependent.
Question

Question
In performing a chi-square goodness-of-fit test with multinomial probabilities, the smaller the difference between observed and expected frequencies, the higher the probability of concluding that the probabilities specified in the null hypothesis are favored over the alternative hypothesis.
Question
When using the chi-square goodness-of-fit test, if the value of the chi-square statistic is large enough, we reject the null hypothesis.
Question
The chi-square distribution is a continuous probability distribution that is skewed to the left.

Dr. Johnson is a new professor teaching Basic Business Statistics for the first time this semester. At the conclusion of the semester, of his 60 students, 10 had earned an A, 20 a B, 20 a C, 5 a D, and 5 received an F. Assume that the class constitutes a random sample. Dr. Johnson wants to know if there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the grade distribution of his class is different from the historical grade distribution. Use α = .05 and determine the appropriate degrees of freedom and the rejection point condition associated with this goodness-of-fit test.

Deck 13: Chi-Square Tests
1
A multinomial probability distribution describes data that are classified into two or more categories when a multinomial experiment is carried out.
True
2
A fastener manufacturing company uses a chi-square goodness-of-fit test to determine if a population of all lengths of ¼-inch bolts it manufactures is distributed according to a normal distribution. If we reject the null hypothesis, it is reasonable to assume that the population distribution is approximately normally distributed.
False
3
The chi-square goodness-of-fit test can only be used to test whether a population has specified multinomial probabilities or to test if a sample has been selected from a normally distributed population. It cannot be used if sample data come from other distribution forms, such as the Poisson.
False

A manufacturing company produces part QV2Y for the aerospace industry. This particular part can be manufactured using 3 different production processes. The management wants to know if the quality of the units of part QV2Y is the same for all three processes. The production supervisor obtained the following data: Process 1 had 29 defective units in 240 items, Process 2 produced 12 defective units in 180 items, and Process 3 manufactured 9 defective units in 150 items. At a significance level of 0.05, we performed a chi-square test of independence to determine if the quality of the items produced appears to be independent of the production process. What are the degrees of freedom for the chi-square statistic?

A) 2
B) 3
C) 50
D) 520
E) 570

A real estate company is analyzing the selling prices of residential homes in a given community. 140 homes that have been sold in the past month are randomly selected and their selling prices are recorded. The statistician working on the project has stated that in order to perform various statistical tests, the data must be distributed according to a normal distribution. In order to determine whether the selling prices of homes included in the random sample are normally distributed, the statistician divides the data into 6 classes of equal size and records the number of observations in each class. She then performs a chi-square goodness-of-fit test for normal distribution. The results are summarized in the following table. Goodness-of-Fit Test
