observed amount of puppies in a litter Proportions based on
observed amount of puppies in a litter
Proportions based on national averages or puppies in a litter
What are the expected numbers based on the national proportions, and how do you arrive at them?
What is the chi2 value?
| 3 or less | 5 | 7-8 | 8 or more | |
| 24 | 40 | 40 | 24 |
Solution
expected numbers = 40 + 40 +24 +24 = 128 /4 = 32
X^2 = (24-32)^2 / 32 + (40-32)^2 / 32 + (40-32)^2 / 32 + (24-32)^2 / 32
X^2 = 2 + 2 +2 +2 = 8
