Chi Squared Tests
16.1 Introduction
• Two statistical techniques are presented, to
analyze nominal data.
– A goodness-of-fit test for the multinomial experiment.
– A contingency table test of independence.
• Both tests use the c2 as the sampling distribution
of the test statistic.
16.2 Chi-Squared Goodness-of-Fit Test
• The hypothesis tested involves the probabilities p1, p2, …,
pk.of a multinomial distribution.
• The multinomial experiment is an extension of the binomial
experiment.
– There are n independent trials.
– The outcome of each trial can be classified into one of k
categories, called cells.
– The probability pi that the outcome fall into cell i remains
constant for each trial. Moreover,
p1 + p2 + … +pk = 1.
– Trials of the experiment are independent
16.2 Chi-squared Goodness-of-Fit Test
• We test whether there is sufficient evidence to
reject a pre-specified set of values for pi.
• The hypothesis:
H 0 : p1  a1 , p 2  a 2 ,..., p k  a k
H 1 : At least one p i  a i
• The test builds on comparing actual frequency
and the expected frequency of occurrences in all
the cells.
The multinomial goodness of fit test Example
• Example 16.1
– Two competing companies A and B have enjoy
dominant position in the market. The companies
conducted aggressive advertising campaigns.
– Market shares before the campaigns were:
• Company A = 45%
• Company B = 40%
• Other competitors = 15%.
The multinomial goodness of fit test Example
• Example 16.1 – continued
– To study the effect of the campaign on the market
shares, a survey was conducted.
– 200 customers were asked to indicate their preference
regarding the product advertised.
– Survey results:
• 102 customers preferred the company A’s product,
• 82 customers preferred the company B’s product,
• 16 customers preferred the competitors product.
The multinomial goodness of fit test Example
• Example 16.1 – continued
Can we conclude at 5% significance level that
the market shares were affected by the
advertising campaigns?
The multinomial goodness of fit test Example
• Solution
–

–
–
The population investigated is the brand preferences.
The data are nominal (A, B, or other)
This is a multinomial experiment (three categories).
The question of interest: Are p1, p2, and p3 different
after the campaign from their values before the
campaign?
The multinomial goodness of fit test Example
• The hypotheses are:
H0: p1 = .45, p2 = .40, p3 = .15
H1: At least one pi changed.
The expected frequency for each
category (cell) if the null hypothesis
is true is shown below:
90 = 200(.45)
80 = 200(.40)

Conclusion: Since 8.18 > 5.99, there is sufficient
evidence at 5% significance level to reject the null
hypothesis. At least one of the probabilities pi is
different. Thus, at least two market shares have
changed.

Required conditions –
the rule of five
• The test statistic used to perform the test is only
approximately Chi-squared distributed.
• For the approximation to apply, the expected cell
frequency has to be at least 5 for all the cells
(npi  5).
• If the expected frequency in a cell is less than 5,
combine it with other cells.
16.3 Chi-squared Test of a Contingency Table
• This test is used to test whether…
– two nominal variables are related?
– there are differences between two or more
populations of a nominal variable
• To accomplish the test objectives, we need to
classify the data according to two different
criteria.
Contingency table c2 test –
Example
• Example 16.2
– In an effort to better predict the demand for courses
offered by a certain MBA program, it was hypothesized
that students’ academic background affect their choice
of MBA major, thus, their courses selection.
– A random sample of last year’s MBA students was
selected. The following contingency table summarizes
relevant data.

The observed values
There are two ways to address the problem
If each classification is considered
a nominal variable, are these two
variables dependent?
If each undergraduate degree
is considered a population, do
these populations differ?
Contingency table c2 test –

Since ei = npi but pi is
unknown, we need to
The hypotheses are:

Under the null hypothesis the two variables are independent:
P(Accounting and BA) = P(Accounting)*P(BA) = [61/152][60/152].
The number of students expected to fall in the cell “Accounting - BA” is
eAcct-BA = n(pAcct-BA) = 152(61/152)(60/152) = [61*60]/152 = 24.08
The number of students expected to fall in the cell “Finance - BBA” is
eFinance-BBA = npFinance-BBA = 152(44/152)(39/152) = [44*39]/152 = 11.29

the sampling distribution under the condition that eij >= 5 for
all the cells.
– When eij < 5 rows or columns must be added such that the

16.5 Chi-Squared test for Normality
• The goodness of fit Chi-squared test can be used to
determined if data were drawn from any distribution.
• The general procedure:
– Hypothesize on the parameter values of the distribution we test
(i.e. m  m0, s  s0 for the normal distribution).
– For the variable tested X specify disjoint ranges that cover all its
possible values.
– Build a Chi squared statistic that (aggregately) compares the
expected frequency under H0 and the actual frequency of
observations that fall in each range.
– Run a goodness of fit test based on the multinomial experiment.
15.5 Chi-Squared test for Normality
• Testing for normality in Example 12.1
For a sample size of n=50 (see Xm12-01) ,the sample
mean was 460.38 with standard error of 38.83. Can we
infer from the data provided that this sample was drawn
from a normal distribution with m = 460.38 and s =
38.83? Use 5% significance level.
c2 test for normality
Solution
First let us select z values that define each cell (expected frequency > 5 for each cell.)
z1 = -1; P(z < -1) = p1 = .1587; e1 = np1 = 50(.1587) = 7.94
z2 = 0; P(-1 < z< 0) = p2 = .3413; e2 = np2 = 50(.3413) = 17.07
z3 = 1; P(0 < z < 1) = p3 = .3413; e3 = 17.07
P(z > 1) = p4 = .1587; e4 = 7.94
The cell boundaries are
calculated from the
corresponding z values
under H0.
z1 =(x1 - 460.38)/38.83 = -1;
x1 = 421.55
The expected
frequencies
can now be
determined for
each cell.
e1 = 7.94
e2 = 17.07 e3 = 17.07

distributed.
