Determine (a) the χ2 test statistic, (b) the
degrees of freedom, (c) the critical value using
alpha equals 0.05α=0.05, and (d) test the hypothesis at the alpha equals 0.05α=0.05 level of significance. |
Ho:Pa=Pb=Pc=Pd=1/4
H1: At least one of the proportions is different from the others.

observed frequencey, O | expected frequency,E | (O-E) | (O-E)²/E | ||
52 | 50.00 | 2.00 | 0.080 | ||
47 | 50.00 | -3.00 | 0.180 | ||
53 | 50.00 | 3.00 | 0.180 | ||
48 | 50.00 | -2.00 | 0.080 |
chi square test statistic,X² = Σ(O-E)²/E =
0.520
level of significance, α= 0.05
Degree of freedom=k-1= 4 -
1 = 3
Critical value = 7.815 [ Excel function:
=chisq.inv.rt(α,df) ]
Decision:test stat < critical value, Do not reject
Ho
so,there is not enough evidence to say taht At least one of the proportions is different from the others.
