Chi-Square and Kolmogorov-Smirnov Tests

The document discusses the Chi-square goodness of fit test and provides an example of computing mean and standard deviation, concluding that the normal distribution fits the data. It also outlines the Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness of fit test with examples related to test scores in a physics class and math scores, including calculations for percentages, probabilities, and z-scores. Additionally, it addresses questions about normally distributed scores and their corresponding probabilities using a standard z-table.

Chi-square goodness of fit

test
EXAMPLE
• 1. compute mean and standard deviation

• µ = 657.42, s.d = 173.59


• 2. divide data in 8 class intervals
Computed
• So, The hypothesis that the normal distribution fits the data - can be
accepted
Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness of fit test
Steps:
Example
• The test scores of a physics class with 800 students are distributed
normally with a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 7. i) what
percentage of the class has a test score between 68 and 82?
• ii) Approximately how many students have a test score between 61
and 89?
• Iii) What is the probability that a student chosen at random has a test
score between 54 and 75?
• Iv)how many students have a test score greater than or equal to 96?
• Given X ~ N(50,10), what are the value of the mean and s.d?
• B) What is the z-score that corresponds to x=30?
• C) what value of x has a z-score of 1.4?
• D) What is the difference between positive and negative z values?
• Normally distributed math scores have a mean of 100 and s.d of 15.
Use the standard z-table to answer the following questions:i) what is
the probability of randomly selecting someone with a math score
that is i) less than 80? Ii) greater than 136? Iii) between 95 and 110,
iv) what math score corresponds to 90th percentile?
