Question 1
Correct
Mark 2.00 out of 2.00
Which one of the following statements is incorrect about a chi-square test of
independence between two variables?
a. The alternative hypothesis is that the two variables are independent of
each other.
b. The expected frequency for each cell is equal to (row total × column total)
n , where n is the sample size.

rows and c is the number of columns.
d. The two variables are categorical.
e. If the observed and the expected frequency for each cell are equal, then the
test statistic will be equal to zero.
