Tutorial Chi Square

1) The document presents the results of two chi-square tests examining the relationship between: a) new admissions to a mental health unit and the phase of the moon, and b) children's gender and the types of toys they play with. 2) For the first test, the results were statistically significant, allowing the researcher to reject the null hypothesis that new admissions and moon phase are independent. 3) For the second test, the results were not statistically significant, so the researcher failed to reject the null hypothesis that children's gender and toy preference are independent.

Tutorial Chi Square

Question 1

Null hypothesis - New admission to mental health unit and phase of the moon are independent
in the population sampled

Altenative hypothesis - New admission to mental health unit and phase of the moon are related
in the population sampled
Test Statistics

Decision

The results present the observed and expected frequencies for mental health unit and phase of the
moon. With alpha equal to 0.05, a chi square test on these frequencies was statistically not
significant, X² (3, N=40) = 12.80 , p = .005. Reject the null hypotheses because (p<0.05). Thus,
new admission to mental health unit and phase of the moon are related in the population
sampled.
Question 2

Null hypothesis : Children gender and types of toys are independent in the population
sampled

Alternative hypothesis : Children gender and types of toys are related in the population sampled

Decision

The results present the observed and expected frequencies for Children gender and types of toys.
With alpha equal to 0.05, a chi square test on these frequencies was statistically not significant,
X² (1, N=50) = .720 , p = .396. Fail to reject the null hypotheses because (p >0.05). Thus,
children gender and types of toys are related in the population sampled
