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

Question

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 are calculated by multiplying the row total and column total and dividing by the sample size, which gives the cell probability. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because observed cell frequencies are the actual frequencies that are observed in the sample data. Option C and D are incorrect because row total and column total are used for calculating the expected cell frequency, but they are not the same as the expected cell frequency.
