Question

A sample of 100 people is classified by gender (male/female) and by whether they are registered voters. The sample consists of 80 females and 20 males, and has a total of 60 registered voters. If these data were used for a chi-square test for independence, what is the expected frequency for males who are registered voters?

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

                                    Male         Female        Total

Registered                                                          60

Non registered                                                   40

Total                          20                  80    

Solution :

N= 100

Formula of expected frequency = $E_{ij}=\frac{T_i \times T_j}{N}$

$E_{ij}$= expected frequency for the ith row/jth columm.

$T_i$ = total in the ith row

$T_j$= total in the jth column

N = table grand total.

So, using formula  $E_{11}=\frac{T_1 \times T_1}{100}$

$E_{11}=\frac{60 \times 20}{100}$

$E_{11}=12$

$E_{12}=\frac{T_1 \times T_2}{100}$

$E_{12}=\frac{60 \times 80}{100}$

$E_{12}=48$

$E_{21}=\frac{T_2 \times T_1}{100}$

$E_{21}=\frac{40 \times 20}{100}$

$E_{21}=8$

$E_{22}=\frac{T_2 \times T_2}{100}$

$E_{22]=\frac{80 \times 40}{100}$

$E_{22}=32$

Expected frequency table

                                    Male         Female        Total

Registered                  12                  48            60

Non registered           8                   32             40

Total                           20                  80    

So, the expected frequency for males who are registered voters are  $E_{11}=12$
