Problem 2:

The research scenario: Do you think there might be a relationships between people’s personality and the profession they pursue?  Here’s a fictional set of data that explores that question. There are two personality types in the data, ‘thinkers’ and ‘feelers.’  There are 3 professions. A chi square analysis can examine whether the proportion that is found to be thinkers overall (i.e, across all 3 professions) is similar to the proportion of thinkers among clergy, the proportion of thinkers among physicians, and the proportion of thinkers among lawyers.

 

 

The following crosstab table  shows the “crossed” frequencies for 2 variables:

 

“Myers-Brigg” personality type        “T” = “thinking” personality

                                                            “F” = “feeling” personality

 

“profession”                                       clergy

                                                            physician

                                                            laywer

 

Blank tables are provided for your calculations.

 

 

  1. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the chi square test of independence?

 

  1. Calculate the row and column totals

 

  1. Calculate the expected frequencies for each “cell”

 

  1. Using the steps shown in the lecture and in the text, calculate the chi square to investigate whether “passed certification” and “breed of dog” are independent of each other or not.

 

  1. Compare your calculated chi square to the critical value of chi square per the table, using the correct degrees of freedom.
