Determine if the following statement is true or false. why? the expected frequencies in a chi-square test for independence are found using the formula below.
expected frequency = (row total)(column total) / table total
choose the correct answer below.
1. false. this formula gives the expected proportion. the (table total) factor in the denominator on the right should be squared.
2. true. it is a simplification of multiplying the proportion of a row variable by the proportion of the column variable to find the proportion for a cell, then multiplying by the table total.
3. true. the area to the right of this value in the corresponding chi-square distribution gives the p-value for the test.
4. false. the expected frequencies for a chi-square test are given by oi - ei/ ei where i represents cell number.
