Question

Find the value of the chi-square test statistic for the goodness-of-fit test. You wish to test the claim that a die is fair. You roll it 48 times with the following results. Number 1 2 3 4 5 6Frequency 5 10 12 9 4 8Observed frequency (O) 5,10,12,9,4,8Expected frequency (E) 8,8,8,8,8,8What is the value of the 2 test statistic?a. X2 = 3.538b. X2 = 4.182c. X2 = 5.75d. X2 = 7.667

Answer 1

The value of Chi-square test statistic is χ² = 5.75.

Explanation:

The Chi-square Goodness of fit test will be used to determine whether the die is fair or not.

The hypothesis can be defined as follows:

H₀: The die is fair.

Hₐ: The die is not fair.

The Chi-square test statistic is given by:

`\chi^(2)=\sum\limits^(n)_(i=1){((O_(i)-E_(i))^(2))/(E_(i))}`

Consider the table attached below.

The value of Chi-square test statistic is χ² = 5.75.
