Chi-Square Test of Independence. Is there a relationship between income category

Question

Chi-Square Test of Independence. Is there a relationship between income category and the fraction of families with more than two children? Use the following data: 6. Number of Salary under Salary between Salary over $25,000 total $10,000 10,000-$25,000 Children Two or less 11 More than 2 68 total 13 28 41 21 9 30 45 105 150 79 Is there a relationship between income category and the fraction of families with more than two children? . State the null and alternative hypothesis.4 points State the observed values State the expected values. Give a conclusion f 4 points 4 points

Explanation / Answer

Chisquare Test For Goodness of Fit

Given table data is as below

------------------------------------------------------------------

calculation formula for E table matrix

------------------------------------------------------------------

expected frequecies calculated by applying E - table matrix formulae

------------------------------------------------------------------

calculate chisquare test statistic using given observed frequencies, calculated expected frequencies from above

------------------------------------------------------------------

set up null vs alternative as

null, Ho: no relation b/w income category and the fraction of families

alternative, H1: exists a relation b/w income category and the fraction of families

level of significance, = 0.05

from standard normal table, chi square value at right tailed, ^2 /2 =5.991

since our test is right tailed,reject Ho when ^2 o > 5.991

we use test statistic ^2 o = (Oi-Ei)^2/Ei

from the table , ^2 o = 32.636

critical value

the value of |^2 | at los 0.05 with d.f (r-1)(c-1)= ( 2 -1 ) * ( 3 - 1 ) = 1 * 2 = 2 is 5.991

we got | ^2| =32.636 & | ^2 | =5.991

make decision

hence value of | ^2 o | > | ^2 | and here we reject Ho

^2 p_value =0

ANSWERS

---------------

null, Ho: no relation b/w income category and the fraction of families

alternative, H1: exists a relation b/w income category and the fraction of families

test statistic: 32.636

critical value: 5.991

p-value:0

decision: reject Ho
