Chapter 11: Chi-Square and F Distributions

Section 11.1

1. Chi-square distributions are skewed right.

2. The skewness to the right decreases. Yes, chi-square distributions become more symmetric as the number of degrees of freedom increases.

3. Use a right-tailed test.

4. The null hypothesis for the test for independence claims that the random variables are independent. The null hypothesis for the test for homogeneity claims that the proportion of interest from each population is the same.

Section 11.2

1. The degrees of freedom are the number of categories minus one.

2. Consider the sample size of all the observed frequencies. The expected frequency for a category is computed by taking the proportion of the sample size designated by the proposed distribution.

3. The greater the differences between the observed frequencies and the expected frequencies, the larger the χ

2 value becomes. Larger χ 2

values lead to the conclusion that the differences are too large to be explained by chance alone.

4. No. When we reject the null hypothesis in a goodness-of-fit test, we say that the observed distribution is different from the expected distribution. The test does not tell us how the distributions differ within each category.

Yes, it needs to be normal. No, the chi-square test of variance requires the x distribution to be exactly a normal distribution.

2. Use a histogram and a boxplot to check for symmetry and outliers. Look at a normal quantile plot using

Minitab, SPSS, or the TI-84 to check for a straight line. Also, use a goodness-of-fit test to see if the distribution follows the empirical rule.

Assume a normal population distribution.

(c) The area to the left of

is less than 50%, so we double the left-tail area to find the P value for the two-tailed test. Right-tail area is between 0.950 and 0.900. Subtracting each value from 1, we find the left-tail area is between 0.050 and 0.100. Doubling the left-tail area for a twotailed test gives 0.100 < P value < 0.200.

(d) Since the P value is greater than the level of significance

1. The populations should be independent.

2.

Yes, both populations must have a normal distribution. Distributions that are mound-shaped and more or less symmetric do not qualify for the F test.

3. F distributions are not symmetric. Values of the F distribution are always nonnegative.

4. You need to calculate the degrees of freedom for both the numerator and the denominator.

Chapter 11 Review

1.

The chi-square and F distributions have only nonnegative values.

2. The normal and Student’s t distributions are always symmetric.

3. Since we are interested in proportions, the test for homogeneity is appropriate.

4. Since we are comparing to a fixed variance, a test of one variance is appropriate.
