Substitute,
Critical value:
The given significance level is
From the Appendix C: Table C.7 Critical values for Chi-square:
- Locate the value 2 in the degrees of freedom (df) column.
- Locate the 0.05 in level of significance row.
- The intersecting value that corresponds to the 2 with level of significance 0.05 is 5.99.
The critical value for
Test statistic value:
Substitute the corresponding values of observed and expected frequencies for each level of categorical variable in the test statistic formula.
Hence, the value of test statistic is 4.855.
Conclusion:
The test statistic value is 4.855.
The critical value is 5.99.
The test statistic value is less than the critical value.
The null hypothesis is retained.
The noise level and exam grades during an exam are independent.
2.
Find the effect size using Cramer’s V.
2.
Answer to Problem 23CAP
The effect size using Cramer’s V is 0.26.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The test statistic is 4.855, and value of N is 70.
The formula for effect size using Cramer’s V is,
In the formula,
For
The smaller degrees of freedom are 1.
Substitute,
Hence, effect size using Cramer’s V is 0.26.

- The area head of GLOBE Broadband claims that more than 75 percent of his customers in Metro Manila are satisfied with the services they received. To test this claim, the local newspaper randomly surveyed 400 customers online and found out that 320 customers were satisfied and the remaining were unsatisfied. Test this claim at alpha value of 10% level of significance. The sample proportion is; 75% 80% 85% The population proportion is; 75% 80% 320% The claim of the area head can be expressed in terms of mathematical notation as; Ha : μ ≠ 75% Ha : μ < 75% Ha : μ > 75%arrow_forwardA fisheries biologist collected a random sample of fish from a lake and conducted a chi-square goodness-of-fit test to see if the distribution of fish changed over time.
