•Homeworks 12 & 13 will be graded and available for you to pick up by office hours on Monday Dec. 2 at 9 a.m.

•Final exam: Tuesday, 12/10 at 7:50 a.m.

Statistical analysis follows design

We have finished the top part of the chart!

Focus on this section for rest of semester

Chi-Squared Test for IndependenceChi-Squared Test for Independence

Step 1: State the hypotheses– H0: Preference is

independent of age (“no relationship”)

– HA: Preference is related to age (“there is a relationship”)

A manufacturer of watches takes a sample of 200 people. Each person isclassified by age and watch type preference (digital vs. analog). The question: is there a relationship between age and watch preference?


Observed scores

Chi-Squared Test for IndependenceChi-Squared Test for IndependenceStep 2: Compute your degrees of freedom & get critical value

df = (#Columns - 1) * (#Rows - 1) = (3-1) * (2-1) = 2

• For this example, with df = 2, and = 0.05• The critical chi-squared value is 5.99

– Go to Chi-square statistic table (B-8) and find the critical value


Step 3: Collect the data. Obtain row and column totals (sometimes called the marginals) and calculate the expected frequencies

“expected frequencies” - if the null hypothesis is

correct, then these are the frequencies that you would expect

correct, then these are the frequencies that you would expect

• Find the residuals (fo - fe) for each cell


Step 3: compute the χ2

Computing the Chi-squareComputing the Chi-square




• Square these differences






• Divide the squared differences by fe





• Divide the squared differences by fe

• Sum the results


Chi-Squared, the final stepChi-Squared, the final stepStep 4: Compare this computed statistic (38.09)

against the critical value (5.99) and make a decision about your hypotheses



here we reject the H0 and conclude that there is a relationship between age and watch preference

In SPSSIn SPSS

Analyze => Descriptives => CrosstabsSelect the two variables (usually they are nominal

or ordinal) you want to examine and click the arrow to move one into the “rows” and one into the “columns” box.

Click on “statistics” button, and check the “Chi-square” box.

Click “continue.”Click “OK.”

SPSS OutputSPSS OutputLook at the “Chi-square tests” box.The top row of this box gives results for

“Pearson’s Chi-Square”• “Value” is the value of the χ2 statistic,• “df” is the degrees of freedom for the test• “Asymp. Sig. (2-sided)” is the probability (p-

value) associated with the test.• The chi-squared distribution, like the F-

distribution, is “squared” so 1-tailed test is not possible.

Exam IV (Monday 12/5)
