In: Statistics and Probability
Five states were randomly selected and their members in the State or Federal parliament are noted below. APC: 33, 10, 14, 12, 10; PDP: 19, 15, 10, 20, 20. At α=0.10, can it be concluded that there is a dependent relationship between the state and the political party affiliation of their representatives? Choose ALL the relevant options
Claim : There is a dependent relationship between the state and the political party affiliation of their representatives.
Hypothesis :
H0: There is a not dependent
relationship between the state and
the political party affiliation of their
representatives.
H1: There is a dependent
relationship between the state and
the political party affiliation of their representatives.
Given values are observed frequency .
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Total | |
APC | 33 | 10 | 14 | 12 | 10 | 79 |
PDP | 19 | 15 | 10 | 20 | 20 | 84 |
Total | 52 | 25 | 24 | 32 | 30 | 163 |
Form the observed frequency find expected frequency .
Expected frequency =( row total * column total ) / Grand Total .
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | |
APC | (79*52)/163=25.20 | (79*25)/163=12.12 | (79*24)/163=11.63 | (79*32)/163=15.51 | (79*30)/30=14.54 |
PDP | (84*52)/163=26.80 | (84*25)/163=12.88 | (84*24)/163=12.37 | (84*32)/163=16.49 | (84*30)/163=15.46 |
Formula for test statistics :
where Oi = observed frequency , Ei = expected frequency .
So here , test statistics = .
Find critical value : Df = ( # of row -1) (# of column -1) =(2-1) (5-1)=1*4=4
and here use level of significance = 0.05 .
Since critical value = 2.776
Decision : Test statistics value = > critical value =2.776 ; since reject H0.
Conclusion
: At 5% level of significance , is is sufficient
eveidence to conclude that there is a
dependent relationship between the state and the
political party affiliation of their
representatives.
