Question: 3.30 Show that x2 = n ; ; (Pij - Pi+P+j)/Pi+P+j = n ; Pi+P+j (aij - 1)2 for the sample association factors {aij}.
3.30 Show that x2 = n Σ; Σ; (Pij - Pi+P+j)²/Pi+P+j = n Σ₁ Σ; Pi+P+j (aij - 1)2 for the sample association factors {aij}. Thus, X2 can be large when n is large, regardless of whether the association is practically important. Explain why this test, like other tests, merely indicates the degree of evidence against Ho and does not describe strength of association.
