1. Chi-Square Test

2. Most of the previous techniques presented so far have been for NUMERICAL data. So, what do we do if the data is CATEGORICAL? Ex: Information gathered on gender, political party, college major, etc.

3. Categorical Variables Based on observations Univariate – single categorical variable  Example: Sample 100 people & ask if they agree or disagree with a question. Bivariate – uses two categorical variables  Example: Sample 100 people & ask if they are male/female and what political party they support.

5. Goodness of Fit Test Used to measure the extent to which the observed counts differ from the expected counts. K = # categories of a categorical variable df = k – 1 Test Statistic:

6. How Does a Hypothesis Test for Chi-Square Work?

7. Assumptions

8. Hypotheses H o : State each proportion’s hypothesized value. H A : At least 1 of the proportions differ from the hypothesized value.

9. It uses the Chi-Square Chart Positively Skewed Uses d.f. On calculator!

Use a Chi-Square goodness of fit Test df = 3

11. A researcher believes that the number of homicides crimes in CA by season is uniformly distributed. To test this claim, you randomly select 1200 homicides from a recent year and record the season when each happened. SeasonFreq Spring312 Summer298 Fall297 Winter293

12. Results from a previous survey asking people who go to movies at least once a month are shown in the table below. To determine whether this distribution is still the same, you randomly select 1000 people who go to movies at least once a month and record the age of each. Are the distributions the same?
