Conducting a Chi-square Test of Independence

Conducting a Chi-square Test of Independence

Your goal is to apply the concepts from the units reading and lecture as to create a presentation demonstrating the ability to conduct a Chi-square analysis and present your findings.  Be sure to review all the unit’s material before engaging this analysis and be prepared to conduct your own analysis using PSPP.  You should already have a copy GRC 605’s data set and have installed PSPP.  Thus, all that remains is for you to import the data set into PSPP and perform the test of independence for the following:

First Chi-square Test:

• Rows: NUM_CARS
• Columns: NUM_DEFAULTS

Second Chi-square Test:

• Rows: LIK_COMFORT
• Columns: NUM_DEFAULTS

Third Chi-square Test:

• Rows: NUM_CARS
• Columns: LIK_COMFORT

You should find only one significant result.  Present your results using a 5-7-minute presentation discussing all three results.

Your presentation must: (a) present a proper title page; (b) offer an agenda; (c) state and justify the null and alternative hypotheses for the relevant hypothesis tests along with APA formatted presentations with the findings; (d) contain a slide covering main takeaways from the presentation; and (e) conclude by thanking the audience and opening the presentation to questions.

Your presentation will be graded using the rubric.  You may wish to use OfficeMix as to produce the video.  Upload the video to YouTube, Vimeo, or similar video sharing site.  Please post a brief message and the video URL to this forum.  Also, you are encouraged to offer constructive critiques and questions for classmates. You may find an APA formatted example of a chi-square test in the forum.  Please use it to format your findings.
