For the chi-square test of a contingency table,the expected cell frequencies are found as  which is the same as:
A)The observed cell frequencies 
B)The cell probability multiplied by the sample size 
C)The row total 
D)The column total

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The expected cell frequencies for the chi-square test of a contingency table are calculated by multiplying the cell probabilities by the sample size. Therefore, B is the correct choice. The other options do not adequately explain how the expected cell frequencies are calculated.
