Chi-Square Test Calculation Explained

The document outlines the calculation of expected values for a contingency table involving Republican and Democrat responses from male and female participants. It uses a statistical formula to compute the test statistics X², which sums the values derived from observed and expected data. The final test statistic calculated is 9.837.

Similarly, we calculate the expected value for each of the cells such as,

Independen
- Republican Democrat Total
t
Male 109 59 22.72 200
Female 120 65 25 220
Total 240 130 50 440

Expected Value

Now we use the formula latex] ∖ frac { left(O_i-E_i\right)^2}{E_i} [/latex]


for each cell.

Where, O=¿ Observed Value, and

E = Expected Value.

Independen
- Republican Democrat Total
t
2.33267605
Male 0.7431197 2.050847 200
6
Female 3.3333333 0.384615 1 220
Total 240 130 50 440

Finally we calculate the test statistics X 2 which is the sum of the cell values
from the above table.
2
X =0.743+2.05+2.33+3.33+ 0.384+1=9.837
