When performing a χ2 test of independent 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: 
1. α=0.05, r=4 rows, c=5 columns 
2. α=0.01, r=4 rows, c=5 columns 
3. α=0.01, r=4 rows, c=6 columns 
4. α=0.01, r=3 rows, c=6 columns 
5. α=0.01, r=6 rows, c=3 columns

(1) Given: 
r = Number of rows in table = 4 
¢¢ = Number of columns in table = 5 
a = Significance level = 0.05 
The number of rows and columns, both decreased by 1, are multiplied by the degrees of freedom.
df = (r—1)(c— 1) = (4-1)(5-1) = 3(4) = 12 
Determine the critical value in the row with df = 12 and in the column with a = 0.05 in the chi-square distribution table in the appendix. 
x2=21.026 
(2) Given: 
r = Number of rows in table = 4 
¢¢ = Number of columns in table = 5 
a = Significance level = 0.01 
The product of the number of rows and the number of columns, both reduced by 1, is the degrees of freedom.
df = (r—1)(c— 1) = (4-1)(5-1) = 3(4) = 12 
Determine the critical value in the row with df = 12 and in the column with a = 0.01 in the chi-square distribution table in the appendix. 
x2=26.217 
(3) Given: 
r = Number of rows in table = 4 
¢¢ = Number of columns in table = 6 
a = Significance level = 0.01 
The product of the number of rows and the number of columns, both reduced by 1, is the degrees of freedom.
df = (r—1)(c— 1) = (4-1)(6-1) = 3(5) = 15 
Determine the critical value in the row with df = 15 and in the column with a = 0.01 in the chi-square distribution table in the appendix. 
x2=30.578 
(4) Given: 
r = Number of rows in table = 3 
¢¢ = Number of columns in table = 6 
a = Significance level = 0.01 
The degrees of freedom is the product of the number ofrow and the number of columns, both decreased by 1. 
df = (r—1)(c— 1) = (3-1)(6-1) = 2(5) = 10 
Determine the critical value in the row with df = 10 and in the column with a = 0.01 in the chi-square distribution table in the appendix. 
x2=23.209 
(5) Given: 
r = Number of rows in table = 6 
¢¢ = Number of columns in table = 3 
a = Significance level = 0.01 
The degrees of freedom is the product of the number ofrow and the number of columns, both decreased by 1. 
df = (r—1)(c— 1) = (6-1)(3-1) = 5(2) = 10 
Determine the critical value in the row with df = 10 and in the column with a = 0.01 in the chi-square distribution table in the appendix. 
x2=23.209 
1) 21.026. 2) 26.217. 3) 30.578. 4) 23.209. 5) 23.209.
