Chi-square tests

ANSWERED

asked 2021-03-05

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.

For the following situations, identify the test you would run to analyze the data:
A marketing firm producing costumes is interested in studying consumer behavior in the context of purchase decision of costumes in a specific market. This company is a major player in the costume market that is characterized by intense competition. The company would like to know in particular whether the income level of the consumers (measured as lower, middle, upper middle, and upper class) influences their choice of costume type. They are specifically focused on four types of costumes (funny costumes, scary costumes, clever costumes, and boring costumes).
a. Chi-Square Goodness of Fit
b. Frequencies
c. Descriptive Statistics

Chi-square tests

ANSWERED

asked 2021-01-08

Chi-square tests are nonparametric tests that examine nominal categories as opposed to numerical values. Consider a situation in which you may want to transform numerical scores into categories. Provide a specific example of a situation in which categories are more informative than the actual values.

For this study, why we would want to use Chi-Squared?
1.A study investigating the effects of second-hand smoke in working environments asked the following question: “How often do you experience second-hand smoke in a work environment/function? Never, Occasionally, Fairly Often, Very Often, Almost Always.” The question was asked of managers and employees to determine whether there was an association between position and the amount of second-hand smoke exposure.

Explain what changes would be required so that you could analyze the hypothesis using a chi-square test. For instance, rather than looking at test scores as a range from 0 to 100, you could change the variable to low, medium, or high. What advantages and disadvantages do you see in using this approach? Which is the better option for this hypothesis, the parametric approach or nonparametric approach?
