Health insurance benefits vary by the size of the company (the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation website, June 23, 2016). The sa

mple data below show the number of companies providing health insurance for small, medium, and large companies. For the purposes of this study, small companies are companies that have fewer than employees. Medium-sized companies have to employees, and large companies have or more employees. The questionnaire sent to employees asked whether or not the employee had health insurance and then asked the enployee to indicate the size of the company.
Health Insurance
Size of Company Yes No Total
Small 32 18 50
Medium 68 7 75
Large 89 11 100

Conduct a test of independence to determine whether health insurance coverage is independent of the size of the company. What is the p-value?

Answer:

\chi^2 = \frac{(32-42)^2}{42}+\frac{(18-8)^2}{8}+\frac{(68-63)^2}{63}+\frac{(7-12)^2}{12}+\frac{(89-84)^2}{84}+\frac{(11-16)^2}{16}=19.221

Now we can calculate the degrees of freedom for the statistic given by:

df=(rows-1)(cols-1)=(3-1)(2-1)=2

And we can calculate the p value given by:

p_v = P(\chi^2_{2} >19.221)=0.000067

And we can find the p value using the following excel code:

"=1-CHISQ.DIST(19.221,2,TRUE)"

Since the p values is higher than a significance level for example \alpha=0.05, we can reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance, and we can conclude that the two variables are dependent at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A chi-square goodness of fit test "determines if a sample data matches a population".

A chi-square test for independence "compares two variables in a contingency table to see if they are related. In a more general sense, it tests to see whether distributions of categorical variables differ from each another".

Solution to the problem

Assume the following dataset:

Size Company/ Heal. Ins.   Yes   No  Total

Small                                      32   18    50

Medium                                 68     7    75

Large                                     89    11    100

_____________________________________

Total                                     189    36   225

We need to conduct a chi square test in order to check the following hypothesis:

H0: independence between heath insurance coverage and size of the company

H1:  NO independence between heath insurance coverage and size of the company

The statistic to check the hypothesis is given by:

\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{(O_i -E_i)^2}{E_i}

The table given represent the observed values, we just need to calculate the expected values with the following formula E_i = \frac{total col * total row}{grand total}

And the calculations are given by:

E_{1} =\frac{50*189}{225}=42

E_{2} =\frac{50*36}{225}=8

E_{3} =\frac{75*189}{225}=63

E_{4} =\frac{75*36}{225}=12

E_{5} =\frac{100*189}{225}=84

E_{6} =\frac{100*36}{225}=16

And the expected values are given by:

Size Company/ Heal. Ins.   Yes   No  Total

Small                                      42    8    50

Medium                                 63     12    75

Large                                     84    16    100

_____________________________________

Total                                     189    36   225

And now we can calculate the statistic:

\chi^2 = \frac{(32-42)^2}{42}+\frac{(18-8)^2}{8}+\frac{(68-63)^2}{63}+\frac{(7-12)^2}{12}+\frac{(89-84)^2}{84}+\frac{(11-16)^2}{16}=19.221

Now we can calculate the degrees of freedom for the statistic given by:

df=(rows-1)(cols-1)=(3-1)(2-1)=2

And we can calculate the p value given by:

p_v = P(\chi^2_{2} >19.221)=0.000067

And we can find the p value using the following excel code:

"=1-CHISQ.DIST(19.221,2,TRUE)"

Since the p values is higher than a significance level for example \alpha=0.05, we can reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance, and we can conclude that the two variables are dependent at 5% of significance.

pentagon [3]
Total distance = 1.6 miles

Madison has already hiked 0.4 miles
