Question
  1. A chi-square test of independence value of =27.05 is calculated from data in a 4 × 5 contingency table. Assuming a .05 level of significance,
    1. What is the degree of freedom?
    2. Identify the critical value.
    3. Do you reject, or fail to reject, the null hypothesis?
Expert Solution
Step 1

 

(1)

Determine the degrees of freedom.

The degrees of freedom is obtained below as follows:

 

From the information, given that there is 4 × 5 contingency table.

 

The required degrees of freedom is,

Statistics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

The degrees of freedom is 12.

Step 2

(2)

 

Obtain the critical value.

 

The critical value is obtained below as follows:

 

Follow the instruction to obtain the chi square critical value:

 

  1. Open EXCEL
  2. Go to Formula bar.
  3. In formula bar enter the function as“=CHIINV”
  4. Enter the probability as 0.05
  5. Enter the degrees of freedom as 12
  6. Click enter

 

EXCEL output:

 

The critical value of Chi square at the 0.05 level of significance with the 12 degrees of freedom is 21.0261.

 

Thus, the critical value is 21.0261.
