Homework: Chi-Square Data Analysis
Prior to beginning work on this homework, review Chapter 10 in your course textbook, pages 109 to 120 in Chapter 7 of the Jarman e-book, and the Week 2 Instructor Guidance. Also, review The Chi-Square Test: Often Used and More Often Misinterpreted and The Chi-Square Test of Independence articles Also, review the Two-Way Tables, Chi-Square: Lecture 11, Chi-Square Tests: Crash Course Statistics #29, and Chi-Square Test for Association (Independence) | AP Statistics | Khan Academy videos; and review the How to Chi-Square Test and How to Interpret Chi-Squared web articles. Also, complete the Week 2 learning activity and Week 2 weekly review.
Your instructor will post an announcement with the scenario and data set for your homework. For the calculations in this homework, you may use either Excel or the free VassarStats: Website for Statistical Computation program online. Instructions for performing a chi-square test of independence in Excel are included in Section 10.4 of the textbook, accompanied by a screencast demonstrating the process in the electronic version. Screencasts showing how to do a chi-square goodness-of-fit test and a chi-square test of independence in VassarStats are included in the learning activity, which you may review at any time. For this test, you may prefer VassarStats because it is more automated than Excel. You also have the option of calculating the chi-square manually but if you choose this option, you must show your work and explain all of the steps taken to solve for the chi-square value and to determine statistical significance.
In your paper, begin with a paragraph introducing the scenario and explaining why a chi-square test is needed for the situation. Then, address the following:
i. Identify which chi-square test you used and which program or procedure you used for the analysis.
ii. Describe the procedure you used to calculate the chi-square.
• If using VassarStats, copy and paste the data entry area and output into your paper. If using Excel, submit the Excel spreadsheet separately and mention in your paper that the spreadsheet is attached. If using hand calculations, include a table showing the observed and expected frequencies, along with the row and column totals and chi-square calculations.
iii. Report the chi-square value, degrees of freedom, and the p
iv. Explain how you determined the p Is the result statistically significant?
• If the test is a chi-square test of independence with a statistically significant result, report the effect size using Cramér's V.
v. Explain the meaning of the results in terms of the scenario.
• Discuss any assumptions, limitations, and implications associated with the situation and analysis.
vi. Summarize the main points of the paper in a concluding paragraph.
Format your homework according to the following formatting requirements:
i) The answer should be typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), double spaced, with one-inch margins on all sides.
ii) The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the homework, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
iii) Also include a reference page. The Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
