LEARN · EXPLAIN · REVISE

Calculate χ² for the table.

Read the idea, work independently, then explain what changed.

TOPIC 01

Statistical analysis of paired data: mixed review

A mixed assessment: identify the method, justify it and revise your reasoning.

What you will be able to explain

  • Connect the chapter skills without relying on the order of the exercises.

Try it. Leave your reasoning visible.

Use one hint at a time. A correction explains what changed, not just the final answer.

01 / Foundation#Your turn

Calculate χ² for the table.

O=(64323264)O=\begin{pmatrix}64&32\\32&64\end{pmatrix}
  • Observations must be independent; expected counts support the supplied large-sample approximation. Rejection is evidence of association, not causation.

Working and explanation

BUILD THE REASONING

Hint 1
Use the paired-data summaries, preserving which observations belong together.
Hint 2
All expected cells are 3u/2.
Worked solution
  1. Use the paired-data summaries, preserving which observations belong together.

  2. Apply the stated relation and retain its conditions.

    χ2=4[(32/2)2/(96/2)]=64/3\chi^2=4[(32/2)^2/(96/2)]=64/3
  3. All four nonnegative cell contributions must be included.

The requested value is 21.3333333333.

Checks and common pitfalls: All four nonnegative cell contributions must be included.

Think first. Reveal a hint when the class is ready.

Teacher preparation and assessment

Question sequence

  • Ask students to name the relevant condition before calculating.

Board plan

  • Compare valid methods and annotate their conditions.

Anticipated thinking

  • A correct final value may still hide a missing assumption.

Assessment checklist

  • Check the method, conditions, reasoning and interpretation separately.
