  1. Use the chi-square test for independence and the observed frequencies below to determine if the frequency pattern of COVID-19 cases between males and females differs between the states of Nebraska and Wyoming (p < .05).

*Do not carry out steps 1-2 of null hypothesis testing*

Male

Female

Nebraska

989

659

Wyoming

237

193

The hypothesis being tested is:

H0: The frequency pattern of COVID-19 cases between males and females does not differs between the states of Nebraska and Wyoming

Ha: The frequency pattern of COVID-19 cases between males and females differs between the states of Nebraska and Wyoming

Male   Female   Total  
Nebraska Observed   989 659 1648
Expected   972.30 675.70 1648.00
O - E   16.70 -16.70 0.00
(O - E)² / E   0.29 0.41 0.70
Wyoming Observed   237 193 430
Expected   253.70 176.30 430.00
O - E   -16.70 16.70 0.00
(O - E)² / E   1.10 1.58 2.68
Total Observed   1226 852 2078
Expected   1226.00 852.00 2078.00
O - E   0.00 0.00 0.00
(O - E)² / E   1.39 1.99 3.38
3.38 chi-square
1 df
.0660 p-value

The p-value is 0.0660.

Since the p-value (0.0660) is greater than the significance level (0.05), we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, we cannot conclude that the frequency pattern of COVID-19 cases between males and females differs between the states of Nebraska and Wyoming.

Thank you! :)
