Chapter 2, Problem 7P
If a chi-square test produces a chi-square value of 7.83 with 4 degrees of freedom,
a. In what interval range does the P value fall?
b. Is the result sufficient to reject the chance hypothesis?
c. Above what chi-square value would you reject the chance hypothesis for an experiment with 7 degrees of freedom?

Assume that a Chi-square test was conducted to test the goodness of fit to a 9:3:3:1 ratio and a Chi-square value of 10.62 was obtained. Should the null hypothesis be accepted?
You perform a chi-square test to compare observed and expected values and obtain a chi-square value of 9.4 with 3 degrees of freedom. What do you conclude?
it is not likely that the difference between observed and expected values is due to random chance, since p>0.05
it is impossible to conclude anything from this information
it is likely that the difference between observed and expected values is due to random chance, since p>0.05
it is likely that the difference between observed and expected values is due to random chance, since p<0.05
the experiment was done incorrectly and must be repeated
it is not likely that the difference between observed and expected values is due to random chance, since p<0.05
Large χ2 values are sometimes obtained in situations where the null hypothesis is true. Explain why this might happen.
