11.89 Voting with 16 A recent survey of Austrian high school students asked whether it makes sense for 16-year-olds to be allowed to vote in the next parliamentary election.The following table shows results.a. Verify, using software, that X2 = 14.1 for this table.b. Can you use the chi-squared
11.88 Likelihood-ratio chi-squared For testing independence, most software also reports another chi-squared statistic, called likelihood-ratio chi-squared. It equalsa. Show that G2 = X2 = 0 when each observed count = expected count.b. Explain why in practice you would not expect to get exactly G2 =
11.87 Explaining Fisher’s exact test A pool of six candidates for three managerial positions includes three females and three males. Denote the three females by F1, F2, F3 and the three males by M1, M2, M3. The result of choosing three individuals for the managerial positions is (F2, M1, M3).a.
11.86 Variability of chi-squared For the chi-squared distribution, the mean equals df and the standard deviation equals 221df2.a. Explain why, as a rough approximation, for a large df value, 95% of the chi-squared distribution falls within df { 2221df2.b. With df = 8, show that df { 2221df2 gives
11.85 What is df? The contingency table that follows has df = 4. Show that you can reconstruct the entire table by filling in the remaining cell counts based on the 4 cell counts shown. A B C D E Total 24 21 12 10 100 100 Total 40 40 40 40 40 200
11.84 Degrees of freedom explained For testing independence in a contingency table of size r *c, the degrees of freedom (df) for the chi-squared distribution equal df = 1r - 12 * 1c - 12. They have the following interpretation: Given the row and column marginal totals in an r * c contingency table,
11.83 Standardized residuals for 2 : 2 tables The table that follows shows the standardized residuals in parentheses for GSS data about the statement, “Women should take care of running their homes and leave running the country up to men.” The absolute value of the standardized residual is 13.2

11.81 Normal and chi-squared with df • 1 When df = 1, the P-value from the chi-squared test of independence is the same as the P-value for the two-sided test comparing two proportions with the z test statistic. This is because of a direct connection between the standard normal distribution and
11.80 Statistical versus practical significance In any significance test, when the sample size is very large, we have not necessarily established an important result when we obtain statistical significance. Explain what this means in the context of analyzing contingency tables with a chi-squared
11.79 True or false: Statistical but not practical significance Even when the sample conditional distributions in a contingency table are only slightly different, when the sample size is very large it is possible to have a large X2 statistic and a very small P-value for testing H0:independence.
11.78 True or false: Relative risk versus odds ratio Refer to a contingency table that cross-classifies subjects in two rows and two columns (labeled Success and Failure) and for which the odds ratio equals 4. True or False: Subjects in row 1 are 4 times as likely to have a success as subjects in
11.77 True or false: Relative risk Interchanging the rows in a 2 * 2 contingency table has no effect on the value of the relative risk.
11.76 True or false: Group 1 becomes Group 2 Interchanging two rows or interchanging two columns in a contingency table has no effect on the value of the X2 statistic.
11.75 True or false: X2 • 0 The null hypothesis for the test of independence between two categorical variables is H0: X2 = 0 for the sample chi-squared statistic X2. (Hint:Do hypotheses refer to a sample or the population?)
11.74 Colon cancer and race The State Center for Health Statistics for the North Carolina Division of Public Health released a report in 2010 that indicates that there are racial disparities in colorectal cancer incidence and mortality rates. The report states, “African Americans are less likely
