Question

What is the decision regarding the differences between the observed and expected frequencies if the critical value of the chi-square is 9.488 and the computed chi-square value is 6.079 g

Answer 1

Answer:

Accept the null hypothesis if it is two tailed test.

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypotheses can only be accepted if it is a two tailed test and calculated chi square must be less than the critical value of chi square.

Then the difference between the  the observed and expected frequencies will be zero.

where

H0 : σ²-σ²= 0             Ha: σ²-σ²≠0

For this the critical region would be greater than the calculated value of chi square. If so we will accept the null hypothesis and reject the alternative hypothesis.
