In a goodness-of-fit test, the null hypothesis (no difference between sets of observed and expected frequencies) is rejected when the ________________. a. Computed chi-square is less than the critical value b. Difference between the observed and expected frequencies is significantly large c. Difference between the observed and expected frequencies is small d. Difference between the observed and expected frequencies occurs by chance

In a chi-square test, the larger the difference between expected frequencies and observed frequencies, the more likely you are to: A. reject the null hypothesis. B. retain the null hypothesis. C. reject the alternative hypothesis. D. choose to use a t ratio or some other parametric test.

A researcher obtains a negative value for the chi-square statistic in a chi-square goodness of fit test. What can a researcher conclude based on this result? a. There are large differences between the observed and expected frequencies. b. The observed frequencies are consistently larger than the expected frequencies. c. The expected frequencies are consistently larger than the observed frequencies. d. The researcher made a mistake because a chi-square value cannot be negative.

We have given the value obtained for the test statistic, $z,$ in a one-mean z-test. We have also specified whether the test is two tailed, left tailed, or right tailed. Determine the P-value in each case and decide whether, at the $5 \%$ significance level, the data provide sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis. Two-tailed test: a. $z=-1.66$ b. $z=0.52$
