Solve the Problem χ2\chi ^ { 2 } Values Can Be Approximated as Follows

Question 36

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem. For large numbers of degrees of freedom, the critical χ2\chi ^ { 2 } values can be approximated as follows: χ2=12(z+2k1) 2\chi ^ { 2 } = \frac { 1 } { 2 } ( z + \sqrt { 2 k - 1 } ) ^ { 2 } where k is the number of degrees of freedom and z is the critical value. To find the lower critical value, the negative z-value is used, to find the upper critical value, the positive z-value is used. Use this approximation to estimate the critical value of χ2\chi ^ { 2 } in a two-tailed hypothesis test with n=104 and α=0.10\alpha = 0.10


A) χ2=84.992 and χ2=121.646\chi ^ { 2 } = 84.992 \text { and } \chi ^ { 2 } = 121.646
B) χ2=81.186 and χ2=128.520\chi ^ { 2 } = 81.186 \text { and } \chi ^ { 2 } = 128.520
C) χ2=80.300 and χ2=127.406\chi ^ { 2 } = 80.300 \text { and } \chi ^ { 2 } = 127.406
D) χ2=85.903 and χ2=122.735\chi ^ { 2 } = 85.903 \text { and } \chi ^ { 2 } = 122.735
