When performing a χ2 test for independence in a contingency table with r rows and c columns, determine the upper-tail critical value of the test statistic in each of the following circumstances.
a. α=0.05, r=6, c=5 |
d. α=0.01, r=5, c=6 |
|
b. α=0.01, r=3, c=4 |
e. α=0.01, r=4, c=5 |
c.
α=0.01,
r=3,
c=6
a. The critical value is ____. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
b. The critical value is _____. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
c. The critical value is ______. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
d. The critical value is ______. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
e. The critical value is _____. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
a) Given that, α=0.05, r=6, c=5
Here, degrees of freedom = (r - 1) * (c -1)
=> DF = (6 - 1) * (5 - 1) = 5 * 4 = 20
Therefore, crtical value at, α=0.05 with df = 20 is, 31.410
The critical value = 31.410
b) Given that, α=0.01, r=3, c=4
Here, degrees of freedom = (r - 1) * (c -1)
=> DF = (3 - 1) * (4 - 1) = 2 * 3= 6
Therefore, crtical value at, α=0.01 with df = 6 is, 16.812
The critical value = 16.812
c) Given that, α=0.01, r=3, c=6
Here, degrees of freedom = (r - 1) * (c -1)
=> DF = (3 - 1) * (6 - 1) = 2 * 5 = 10
Therefore, crtical value at, α=0.01 with df = 10 is, 23.209
The critical value = 23.209
d) Given that, α=0.01, r=5, c=6
Here, degrees of freedom = (r - 1) * (c -1)
=> DF = (5 - 1) * (6 - 1) = 4 * 5 = 20
Therefore, crtical value at, α=0.01 with df = 20 is, 37.566
The critical value = 37.566
e) Given that, α=0.01, r=4, c=5
Here, degrees of freedom = (r - 1) * (c -1)
=> DF = (4 - 1) * (5 - 1) = 3 * 4 = 12
Therefore, crtical value at, α=0.01 with df = 12 is, 26.217
The critical value = 26.217
