For each of the following situations, state whether you’d use a chi-square goodness-of-fit test, a chi-square test of homogeneity, a chi-square test of independence, or some other statistical test:
a) Is the quality of a car affected by what day it was built? A car manufacturer examines a random sample of the warranty claims filed over the past two years to test whether defects are randomly distributed across days of the work week.
b) A medical researcher wants to know if blood cholesterol level is related to heart disease. She examines a database of 10,000 patients, testing whether the cholesterol level (in milligrams) is related to whether or not a person has heart disease.
c) A student wants to find out whether political leaning (liberal, moderate, or conservative) is related to choice of major. He surveys 500 randomly chosen students and performs a test.

B) What might you do instead of weighing the nuts in order to use a x2 test?
Nuts A company says its premium mixture of nuts con- tains 10% Brazil nuts, 20% cashews, 20% almonds, and 10% hazelnuts, and the rest are peanuts. You buy a large can and separate the various kinds of nuts.

Find the pattern of the data of Chi-square goodness-of-fit from two options.

See answers (1)

Answer 1

Chi-square goodness-of-fit test is applied when t one categorical variable is selected from a single population. It tests whether the distribution of this single categorical variable follows the theoretical distribution.
It determines whether observed counts differ significantly from expected counts if the proposed distribution was the true distribution.
Hence, the correct option is one categorical variable.
