Chi–Squares
What is compared against each other in a chi-square goodness of fit test?
Observed counts and expected counts
Two sets of expected counts based on different hypotheses
Observed probability and theoretical probability per category
Two sets of observed counts from different samples
Which distribution do chi-square test values follow when the null hypothesis is true?
Binomial distribution
Chi-square distribution
Uniform distribution
Normal distribution
What assumption must be met regarding cell frequencies when performing a Chi-Square Goodness of Fit test?
All expected cell frequencies must be at least five.
No more than two cells can have observed frequencies less than three.
At least half of the cells must have observed frequencies greater than ten.
Each cell's observed frequency must exceed its corresponding expected frequency by at least two units.
What does it mean if your calculated p-value from performing a chi-square goodness-of-fit test on observed vs expected cell phone brand popularity among teenagers is larger than your significance level alpha?
There's significant evidence against what was expected; teens' brand preferences differ markedly from assumed distributions.
This indicates that additional data collection is needed because our existing dataset does not provide clarity on brand preference patterns.
There isn't enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis; brand popularity may follow expected distribution.
The calculations probably contain errors since statistical tests generally result in small p-values when they're correct.
A study uses a chi-square goodness of fit test to compare actual color distribution in a bag of candy with the manufacturer's stated ratios; which condition must be checked before performing the test?
Samples must be collected randomly from less than ten percent of all bags produced.
The sample size must be over thirty.
Expected count in each category should be at least five.
All categories must have an equal number of observed cases.
The chi-square statistic in a chi-square goodness of fit test is calculated using which formula?
In the context of a chi-square goodness-of-fit test, what is a long-term consequence of decreasing the level of significance alpha from 0.05 to 0.10?
An increased likelihood of Type I error, falsely rejecting the true null hypothesis when the evidence doesn't justify such action.
An increase in the power of the test, resulting in a higher chance of successfully detecting an effect that is there.
The expected number of false positives would decrease, since a higher threshold for rejecting the null hypothesis is established.
A decline in the test's sensitivity, meaning fewer rejections of the null hypothesis even when an alternative one is true.

What does it mean if the p-value obtained from a chi-square goodness-of-fit test is below our chosen significance level?
There's no significant difference between our observed and expected distributions.
Our sample size was insufficient for this statistical analysis method.
We reject our null hypothesis that there's no difference between observed and expected distributions.
Random chance alone likely caused any discrepancies in distribution.
Which sampling technique collects responses just from those who are easy to contact or reach?
Multi-stage sample
Judgmental sampling
Convenience sampling
Snowball sampling
What implication does Levene’s Test have when assessing variances prior to implementing a Chi-Square Goodness-of-Fit Protocol?
Suggests a lack of power to detect actual effects, which necessitates increasing the overall alpha level to enhance sensitivity in detecting true positives.
Implies the presence of outliers that must be removed to ensure robust performance in the final goodness-of-fit analysis.
If significant, it suggests that the assumption of equal variances across compared groups is violated and needs to be addressed before proceeding with further analysis.
Indicates that normality assumptions are met, therefore proceed directly with the goodness-of-fit procedure without concern for unequal variance impact.
