# In a certain sample of 1000 families, 450 families are consumers of tea. Out of 600 Hindu families, 286 families consume tea. Calculate 2 statistic. - Mathematics and Statistics

Sum

In a certain sample of 1000 families, 450 families are consumers of tea. Out of 600 Hindu families, 286 families consume tea. Calculate the χ2 statistic.

#### Solution

The given data can be arranged in the following table.

 Consume Tea Do not consume Tea Total Hindu family 286 600 Non Hindu family Total 450 1000

Table of observed frequencies.

 Consume Tea Do not consume Tea Row total (Ri) Hindu family 286 314 600 Non Hindu family 164 236 400 Column total (Cj) 450 550 1000

Expected frequencies are given by

Eij = ("R"_"i" xx "C""j")/"N"

E11 = (600 xx 450)/1000 = 270

E12 = (600 xx 550)/1000 = 330

E21 = (400 xx 450)/1000 = 180

E22 = (400 xx 550)/1000 = 220
Table of expected frequencies.

 Consume Tea Do not consume Tea Total Hindu family 270 330 600 Non Hindu family 180 220 400 Total 450 550 1000

Now,

χ2 = sum[(("o"_"ij" - "E"_"ij")^2)/"E"_"ij"]

=((286 - 270)^2)/270 + ((314 - 330)^2)/330 + ((164 - 180)^2)/180 + ((236 - 220)^2)/220

= 256/270 + 256/330 + 256/180 + 256/220

= 0.948 + 0.776 + 1.422 + 1.164
= 4.31
