Chapter 6. Associations Between Categorical Variables
Expected Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course a fully engaged student should be able to
1) determine when you need to use a chi square test of association or a chi square goodness of fit test to test your hypotheses
2) calculate the expected values in the chi square test of association or chi square goodness of fit test
3) use Excel to conduct the Chi Squre test
4) interpret the results to correctly draw conclusions
Appendix 1.
I added Appendix 1 to the lab manual for students that might have been a little bit less math phobic and who might actually benefit from understanding a bit more about how the math of the statistical tests work. Because you are all comfortable with math, I hope you take a look at this short section.
Process of Science- Final Thoughts
After you have finished reading the entire book, don't forget that the three most important summaries are found on pages 30 - 32. Enjoy.
