Question

1) The larger the chi-square statistic, the weaker the evidence against the null hypothesis. True or False

2) The more similar the conditional distributions in a two-way table are, the larger the P-value of the chi-square test becomes. True or False

Answer 1

Ans 1- The larger the chi-square statistic, the weaker the evidence against the null hypothesis. False

Reason: The larger the chi-square statistic, the stronger the evidence against the null hypothesis.

2- The more similar the conditional distributions in a two-way table are, the larger the P-value of the chi-square test becomes. true

Reason: The more similar the conditional distributions in a two-way table are, the smaller the value ofhof test statistic and therefore larger the P value of the chi-square test becomes.
