Question

4. The null hypothesis for the chi-square goodness-of-fit test states that the distribution of A. cases for each group is equal to the expected distribution based on theory/knowledge of the population. B. sample means is equal to expectation based on the expected frequency. C. sample means for each group is equal. D. the sample means is equal to the expected distribution based on theory/knowledge of the population.

Answer 1

D. the sample means is equal to the expected distribution based on theory/knowledge of the population.

Explanation:

The Chi square goodness-of-fit test is used in statistical analysis to determine if the observed value in a collection of data, is significantly different from the expected value. Theoretical distribution which could be classified as normal, binomial, or poisson, are compared against the empirical distribution.To run a chi square goodness-of-fit test, we first formulate the null and alternate hypothesis. The degrees of freedom are then observed from the data given and the hypothesis is tested.

The null hypothesis assumes that the observed frequencies are equal to the expected frequencies. If there is a considerable difference, then the null hypothesis is rejected.
