Notes Chi Square Test and Anova

The chi-square test and ANOVA are statistical hypothesis tests used to analyze frequency distributions and compare group means. The chi-square test has 8 steps: write hypotheses, choose a significance level, determine degrees of freedom, find the critical value, define acceptance/rejection regions, calculate the test statistic, make a decision to accept or reject the null hypothesis, and interpret the decision. ANOVA also has 8 steps that are similar: write hypotheses, choose a significance level, determine degrees of freedom, find the critical value, define acceptance/rejection regions, calculate the test statistic F, make a decision to accept or reject the null hypothesis, and interpret the decision. Both tests use critical values and test statistics to

Chi-Square test

A chi-square test (also chi-squared or test) is any statistical hypothesis test in


which the test statistic has a chi-square distribution when the null hypothesis is true, or
any in which the probability distribution of the test statistic (assuming the null hypothesis
is true) can be made to approximate a chi-square distribution as closely as desired by
making the sample size large enough. A chi-square goodness of fit test is used to test
whether a frequency distribution fits a specific distribution.

There have eight steps for in chi-square test.

• Write the null and alternative hypothesis

For this part we must write two hypotheses which related to situation. We
can write whether there are independents or equally distributed. First, H 0 =
which is always independents or equally distributed. Then, H1 = which is
always dependents or not equally distributed. These hypotheses must be
our decision after we done that chi-square test.

• State the level of significance

We must decide a level of significance = 0.01 or = 0.05 which always

given in question. This will used for refer tables.

• Determine the sampling distribution

For this part we must calculate degree of freedom. For degree of freedom
by (total of column minus one) multiply (total of row minus one).

=(c-1)(r-1).

• Find the critical value


By using level of significance and degree of freedom refer to suitable table
for find critical value.

• Find the rejection region

With using that critical value we must decided accept and reject region.
The region left hand side of critical value accept region and right hand side
is reject region.

• Find the test statistic

(O − E ) 2
We use formulae for find the test statistic χ 2 = Σ .
E

• Make your decision

We must find whether the test statistic fall in accept or reject region. If the
test statistic falls in accept region, we decide that accept H 0 or reject H1. If
the test statistic falls in reject region, we decide that accept H1 or reject H0.

• Interpret your decision

In this part we must explain our decision by using those hypotheses which
we write before do this test. For this part we must use the seventh step for
explain.
ANOVA

In statistics, analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a collection of statistical models,


and their associated procedures, in which the observed variance is partitioned into
components due to different explanatory variables. In its simplest form ANOVA gives a
statistical test of whether the means of several groups are all equal, and therefore
generalizes Student's two-sample t-test to more than two groups.

The variance is calculated in two different ways and the ratio of the two values is

MS B
formed. F =
MSW

MSB, Mean Square Between, the variance between samples, measures the differences
related to the treatment given to each sample.

MSW Mean Square Within, the variance within samples, measures the differences
related to entries within the same sample. The variance within samples is due to
sampling error.
There have eight steps for in ANOVA.

• Write the null and alternative hypothesis

For this part we must write two hypotheses which related to situation. We
can write whether there are all the mean or standard deviation are same
or not. First, H0 = µ1 = µ2 = µ3 = µ4 . Then, H1 = At least one of the means is
different from the others. These hypotheses must be our decision after we
done that ANOVA test.

• State the level of significance

We must decide a level of significance = 0.05 (5%) or = 0.10 (10%)

which always given in question. This will used for refer tables.

• Determine the sampling distribution

For this part we must calculate degree of freedom. The degree of freedom
for numerator we use (K-1) total of group minus one. The degree of
freedom for denominator we use (N-K) total of item minus total of group.

• Find the critical value

By using level of significance and degree of freedom for numerator and


denominator refer to table for find critical value.

• Find the rejection region

With using that critical value we must decided accept and reject region.
The region left hand side of critical value accept region and right hand side
is reject region.

• Find the test statistic


MS B
We use formulae for find the test statistic F = . Calculate the mean
MSW
and variance for each sample.

• Make your decision

We must find whether the test statistic fall in accept or reject region. If the
test statistic falls in accept region, we decide that accept H 0 or reject H1. If
the test statistic falls in reject region, we decide that accept H1 or reject H0.

• Interpret your decision

In this part we must explain our decision by using those hypotheses which
we write before do this test. For this part we must use the seventh step for
explain.
