a. Calculate degrees of freedom for this chi-square test for goodness of fit.

b. Perform all of the calculations to complete this table.

c. Compute the chi-square statistic.

Solution

a)

df = n - 1 =3 - 1

df = 2 [answer]

******************

b)

Consider the table:

c)

Summing the last column,

chi^2 = Sum [(O - E)^2/E] = 12.533333 [answer]
