Practice

• In the 1930’s 650 boys participated in the Cambridge-Somerville Youth Study. Half of the participants were randomly assigned to a delinquency-prevention pogrom and the other half to a control group. At the end of the study, police records were examined for evidence of delinquency. In the prevention program 114 boys had a police record and in the control group 101 boys had a police record. Analyze the data and write a conclusion.

• Chi Square = 1.17

• Chi Square observed = 3.84

• Phi = .04– Note the results go in the opposite direction

that was expected!

2 as a test for goodness of fit

• But what if:

• You have a theory or hypothesis that the frequencies should occur in a particular manner?

Example

• M&Ms claim that of their candies:

• 30% are brown

• 20% are red

• 20% are yellow

• 10% are blue

• 10% are orange

• 10% are green

Example

• Based on genetic theory you hypothesize that in the population:

• 45% have brown eyes

• 35% have blue eyes

• 20% have another eye color

To solve you use the same basic steps as before (slightly

different order)• 1) State the hypothesis

• 2) Find 2 critical

• 3) Create data table

• 4) Calculate the expected frequencies

• 5) Calculate 2

• 6) Decision

• 7) Put answer into words

Example

• M&Ms claim that of their candies:

• 30% are brown• 20% are red• 20% are yellow• 10% are blue• 10% are orange• 10% are green

Example

• Four 1-pound bags of plain M&Ms are purchased

• Each M&Ms is counted and categorized according to its color

• Question: Is M&Ms “theory” about the colors of M&Ms correct?

• H0: The data do fit the model

– i.e., the observed data does agree with M&M’s theory

– NOTE: These are backwards from what you have done before

• p zero OR one will accept = .38

• p two or more will accept = 1 - .38 = .62

• A professor would like to determine if there has been a change in grading practices over the years. In the past, the overall grade distribution was 14% As, 26% Bs, 31% Cs, 19% Ds, and 10% Fs.

• A sample of 200 students this years had the following grades

Practice

• A = 32• B = 61• C = 64• D = 31• F = 12

• Do the data indicate a significant change in the grade distribution? Test at the .05 level.



– i.e., the grades are distributed the same


– i.e., the grades are not distributed the same

Practice

• A = 32 28• B = 61 52• C = 64 62• D = 31 38• F = 12 20

• Chi square = 6.68• Critical Chi square (4) = 9.49

Step 6: Decision

• There is no evidence that the grades have changed

• An early hypothesis of schizophrenia was that it has a simple genetic cause. In accordance with the theory 25% of the offspring of a selected group of parents would be expected to be diagnosed as schizophrenic. Suppose that of 140 offspring, 19.3% were schizophrenic. Test this theory.

• Goodness of fit chi-square

• Make sure you compute the Chi square with the frequencies.

• Chi square = 2.439• Observed = 3.84

• These data are consistent with the theory!
