A researcher records whether n=288n=288 children do or do not have asthma at age 13, and then again records whether these same 288288 individuals have asthma 7 years later. Results are shown in the following table:

Asthma at age 20?
Asthma at age 13? Yes No
Yes 75 22
No 11 180

To test whether "asthma at 13" is related to "asthma at 20", what is the value of chi-square test statistic? [Answer to 3 decimal places.]

Tries 0/5

Suppose we are testing:

Null hypothesis: "asthma at 13" and "asthma at 20" are not related,
against
Alternative hypothesis: "asthma at 13" and "asthma at 20" are related.

If the p-value associated to the ch-square test-statistics is 0 and the level of significance is 5%, what will be your conclusion?
Not enough information to reach a decision
Do not reject null hypothesis

column
row yes no Total
yes 75 22 97
no 11 180 191
Total 86 202 288
Expected frequency of a cell = sum of row*sum of column / total sum
Expected Frequencies
yes no Total
yes 28.9653 68.0347 97
no 57.0347 133.9653 191
Total 86 202 288

a)

expected frequency of "asthma at 13" and "asthma at 20" = 86*97/288 = 28.97

b)

expected frequency of "asthma at 13" and "no asthma at 20" = 97*202/288 = 68.03

c)

expected frequency of "no asthma at 13" and "asthma at 20 = 57.03

d)

expected frequency of "no asthma at 13" and "no asthma at 20" = 133.97

e)

(fo-fe)^2/fe
yes 73.1633 31.1487
no 37.1562 15.8190

Chi-Square Test Statistic,χ² = Σ(fo-fe)^2/fe =   157.287

p-Value =   0.0000
Decision:    p-value < α , Reject Ho

Reject null hypothesis
