Question

More P-values For each of the following, find the P-value using Table C. Then calculate a more precise value using technology.

a. ${\chi }^2=4.49,df=5$

b. ${\chi }^2=4.49,df=1$

Short answer

Part (a) $P-$value$=0.4812$

Part (b) $P-$value $=0.0341$

Step-by-step solution

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

$$\begin{gathered} {\chi }^2=4.49 \\ df=5 \end{gathered}$$

Part (a) Step 2: Calculation

Using excel formula,

$=CHIDIST(4.49,5)$

$P-$value$=0.4812$

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

$$\begin{gathered} {\chi }^2=4.49 \\ df=1 \end{gathered}$$

Part (b) Step 2: Calculation

Using excel formula,

$=CHIDIST(4.49,1)$

$P-$value $=0.0341$
