Contingency Tables

Contingency Tables

Useful in situations involving multiple population proportions

Used to classify sample observations according to two or more characteristics

Also called a cross-classification table .

Chap 12-3

Contingency Table Example

Left-Handed vs. Gender

Dominant Hand: Left vs. Right

Gender: Male vs. Female

 2 categories for each variable, so called a 2 x 2 table

 Suppose we examine a sample of size 300

: π

2

(Proportion of females who are left handed is equal to the proportion of males who are left handed)

(The two proportions are not the same –

Hand preference is not independent of gender)

If H

0 is true, then the proportion of left-handed females should be the same as the proportion of left-handed males

The two proportions above should be the same as the proportion of left-handed people overall

Chap 12-6

The Chi-Square Test Statistic

The Chi-square test statistic is:

 2   all cells

( f o

 f e

)

2 f e

 where: f o

= observed frequency in a particular cell f e

= expected frequency in a particular cell if H

0 is true

2 for the 2 x 2 case has 1 degree of freedom

(Assumed: each cell in the contingency table has expected frequency of at least 5)

Basic Business Statistics, 10e © 2006 Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Chap 12-9

Finding Expected Frequencies

To obtain the expected frequency for left handed females, multiply the average proportion left handed (p) by the total number of females

To obtain the expected frequency for left handed males, multiply the average proportion left handed (p) by the total number of males

If the two proportions are equal, then

P(Left Handed | Female) = P(Left Handed | Male) = .12

i.e., we would expect (.12)(120) = 14.4 females to be left handed

(.12)(180) = 21.6 males to be left handed
