A researcher has developed three different designs for a computer keyboard. A sample of n=60 participants is obtained, and each individual tests all three keyboards and identifies his or her favorite. The frequency distribution of preferences is as follows: Design A Design B Design C   23 12 25 n=60 The values for each category are the observed frequencies, fo, and note that the Σfo=n. Assume that the null hypothesis states that there are no preferences among the three designs. Find the expected frequencies for the chi-square test and determine the df value for the chi-square statistic.

Question

I just want to make sure I got the answer correctly.  i got Design A Design B Design C

            23           12          25        n= 60

To get the expected frequency do you divide n by the amount of categories because it says there are no preferences among the three designs? 

 

A researcher has developed three different designs for a computer keyboard. A sample of n=60 participants is obtained, and each individual tests all three keyboards and identifies his or her favorite. The frequency distribution of preferences is as follows:

Design A

Design B

Design C

 

23

12

25

n=60

The values for each category are the observed frequencies, fo, and note that the Σfo=n.

Assume that the null hypothesis states that there are no preferences among the three designs.

Find the expected frequencies for the chi-square test and determine the df value for the chi-square statistic.

You should find that fe=20 for all three designs and df=2. Good luck.
