Yates' correction for continuity involves which of the following procedures? A)subtracting 5 from the absolute value of ?Oj-Ej? B)subtracting .5 from the absolute value of ?Oj-Ej? C)subtracting .5 from the absolute value of ?Oj-Ej?² D)subtracting 5 from the absolute value of ?Oj-Ej?²

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Yates' correction for continuity involves subtracting 0.5 from the absolute value of the difference between observed (Oj) and expected (Ej) frequencies as it provides a better approximation to the chi-square distribution for small sample sizes. Options A and D involve subtracting 5, which is not correct, while option C includes additional symbols that do not apply to Yates' correction.
