Example • Chronic users of cocaine need the drug to feel pleasure. Perhaps giving them a medication that fights depression will help them stay off cocaine. A three-year study compared an antidepressant call desipramine with lithium (a standard treatment for cocaine addiction) and a placebo. • The subjects were 72 chronic users of cocaine who wanted to break their addiction.

What new for Chi-squared Test for independence • H0: the categories are independent. • Ha: the categories are not independent. • You can safely use the chi-square test with critical values from the chi-square distribution when no more than 20% of the expected counts are less than 5 and all individual expected counts are 1 or greater. In particular, all four expected counts in a 2X2 table should be 5 or greater. AP Statistics, Section 13.1
On the calculator • The “observed” data goes into matrix, typically, A • Run the χ2-Test from the Stats:Test • You specify where you want the expected matrix to go. AP Statistics, Section 13.1
