A researcher can correct for having expected frequencies smaller than five by
A)increasing the number of cells
B)increasing the sample size
C)decreasing the observed frequency
D)both A and B

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

One way for a researcher to correct for having expected frequencies smaller than five is by either increasing the number of cells (option A) or increasing the sample size (option B). By increasing the number of cells or the sample size, the researcher can distribute the expected frequencies more evenly among the cells, which can increase the likelihood of having expected frequencies greater than or equal to five. Thus, options A and B are valid choices for correcting for expected frequencies smaller than five.
