  4. Two-Way Tables The two-sample z procedures of Chapter 8 allow us to compare the proportions of successes in two populations or for two treatments. What if we want to compare more than two samples or groups? More generally, what if we want to compare the distributions of a single categorical variable across several populations or treatments? We need a new statistical test. The new test starts by presenting the data in a two-way table. Two-way tables of counts have more general uses than comparing distributions of a single categorical variable. They can be used to describe relationships between any two categorical variables.

  5. Expected Cell Counts Two-way tables sort the data according to two categorical variables. We want to test the hypothesis that there is no relationship between these two categorical variables (H0). To test this hypothesis, we compare actual countsfrom the sample data with expected counts, given the null hypothesis of no relationship. The expected count in any cell of a two-way table when H0 is true is:

  6. The Problem of Multiple Comparisons • To perform a test of • H0:there is no difference in the distribution of a categorical variable for several populations or treatments • Ha:there is a difference in the distribution of a categorical variable for several populations or treatments • we compare the observed counts in a two-way table with the counts we would • expect if H0 were true. The problem of how to do many comparisons at once with an overall measure of confidence in all our conclusions is common in statistics. This is the problem of multiple comparisons. Statistical methods for dealing with multiple comparisons usually have two parts: • 1. An overall test to see if there is good evidence of any differences among the parameters that we want to compare. • 2. A detailed follow-up analysis to decide which of the parameters differ and to estimate how large the differences are. The overall test uses the chi-square statistic and distributions.

  7. The Chi-Square Statistic To see if the data give convincing evidence against the null hypothesis, we compare the observed counts from our sample with the expected counts assuming H0is true. The test statistic that makes the comparison is the chi-square statistic. The chi-square statistic is a measure of how far the observed counts are from the expected counts. The formula for the statistic is: where “observed” represents an observed cell count, “expected” represents the expected count for the same cell, and the sum is over all r  c cells in the table.

  8. The Chi-Square Distributions If the expected counts are large and the observed counts are very different, a large value of c2 will result, providing evidence against the null hypothesis. The P-value for a c2 test comes from comparing the value of the c2 statistic with critical values for a chi-square distribution. The Chi-Square Distributions The chi-square distributions are a family of distributions that take only positive values and are skewed to the right. A particular c2distribution is specified by giving its degrees of freedom. The c2test for a two-way table with r rows and c columns uses critical values from the c2distribution with (r – 1)(c – 1) degrees of freedom. The P-value is the area under the density curve of this c2distribution to the right of the value of the test statistic.

  9. Cell Counts Required for the Chi-Square Test The chi-square test is an approximate method that becomes more accurate as the counts in the cells of the table get larger. We must therefore check that the counts are large enough to allow us to trust the P-value. Fortunately, the chi-square approximation is accurate for quite modest counts. Cell Counts Required for the Chi-Square Test You can safely use the chi-square test with critical values from the chi-square distribution when the average of the expected counts is 5 or more and all individual expected counts are 1 or greater. In particular, all four expected counts in a 2  2 table should be 5 or greater.

  10. The Chi-Square Test The chi-square test is an overall test for detecting relationships between two categorical variables. If the test is significant, it is important to look at the data to learn the nature of the relationship. We have three ways to look at the data: Compare selected percents: which cells occur in quite different percents of all cells? Compare observed and expected cell counts: which cells have more or less observations than we would expect if H0were true? Look at the terms of the chi-square statistic: which cells contribute the most to the value of χ2?

  11. The Chi-Square Test One of the most useful properties of the chi-square test is that it tests the null hypothesis “the row and column variables are not related to each other” whenever this hypothesis makes sense for a two-way table. • Uses of the Chi-Square Test • Use the chi-square test to test the null hypothesis • H0: there is no relationship between two categorical variables • when you have a two-way table from one of these situations: • Independent SRSs from two or more populations, with each individual classified according to one categorical variable • A single SRS, with each individual classified according to both of two categorical variables

  12. 9.2 Formulas and Models for Two-Way Tables* • Computations for Two-Way Tables • Computing Conditional Distributions • Computing Expected Cell Counts • The Chi-Square Statistic and its P-value • Models for Two-Way Tables

  13. Computations for Two-Way Tables The calculations required to analyze a two-way table are straightforward, but tedious. In practice, it is recommended to use software. However, it is possible to do the work with a calculator. When analyzing relationships between two categorical variables, follow this procedure: Calculate descriptive statistics that convey the important information in the table. Usually these will be column or row percents. Find the expected counts and use them to compute the c2 statistic. Compare your c2 statistic to the chi-square critical values from Table F to find the approximate P-value for your test. Draw a conclusion about the association between the row and column variables.

  14. The calculated percents within a two-way table represent the conditional distributionsdescribing the “relationship” between both variables. For every two-way table, there are two sets of possible conditional distributions (column percents or row percents). For column percents, divide each cell count by the column total. The sum of the percents in each column should be 100, except for possible small roundoff errors. When one variable is clearly explanatory, it makes sense to describe the relationship by comparing the conditional distributions of the response variable for each value (level) of the explanatory variable. Computing Conditional Distributions

  15. Comparing Conditional Distributions Market researchers suspect that background music may affect the mood and buying behavior of customers. One study in a supermarket compared three randomly assigned treatments: no music, French accordion music, and Italian string music. Under each condition, the researchers recorded the numbers of bottles of French, Italian, and other wine purchased. Here is a table that summarizes the data: PROBLEM: Calculate the conditional distribution (in proportions) of the type of wine sold for each treatment. Make an appropriate graph for comparing the conditional distributions in part (a). Are the distributions of wine purchases under the three music treatments similar or different? Give appropriate evidence from parts (a) and (b) to support your answer.

  16. Comparing Conditional Distributions The type of wine that customers buy seems to differ considerably across the three music treatments. Sales of Italian wine are very low (1.3%) when French music is playing but are higher when Italian music (22.6%) or no music (13.1%) is playing. French wine appears popular in this market, selling well under all music conditions but notably better when French music is playing. For all three music treatments, the percent of Other wine purchases was similar.

  17. Calculating Expected Cell Counts The overall proportion of French wine bought during the study was 99/243 = 0.407. So the expected counts of French wine bought under each treatment are: The overall proportion of Other wine bought during the study was 113/243 = 0.465. So the expected counts of Other wine bought under each treatment are: Finding the expected counts is not that difficult, as the following example illustrates. The overall proportion of Italian wine bought during the study was 31/243 = 0.128. So the expected counts of Italian wine bought under each treatment are: The null hypothesis in the wine and music experiment is that there’s no difference in the distribution of wine purchases in the store when no music, French accordion music, or Italian string music is played. To find the expected counts, we start by assuming that H0is true. We can see from the two-way table that 99 of the 243 bottles of wine bought during the study were French wines. If the specific type of music that’s playing has no effect on wine purchases, the proportion of French wine sold under each music condition should be 99/243 = 0.407.

  18. Calculating Expected Cell Counts Consider the expected count of French wine bought when no music was playing: 99 99 84 243 84 243 Expected Counts The expected count in any cell of a two-way table when H0 is true is: The values in the calculation are the row total for French wine, the column total for no music, and the table total. We can rewrite the original calculation as: • = 34.22

  19. The Chi-Square Calculation

  20. The c2 Statistic and its P-Value H0:There is no difference in the distributions of wine purchases at this store when no music, French accordion music, or Italian string music is played. Ha:There is a difference in the distributions of wine purchases at this store when no music, French accordion music, or Italian string music is played. Our calculated test statistic is χ2 = 18.28. To find the P-value using a chi-square table look in the df = (3-1)(3-1) = 4. The small P-value (between 0.001 and 0.0025) gives us convincing evidence to reject H0 and conclude that there is a difference in the distributions of wine purchases at this store when no music, French accordion music, or Italian string music is played.

  21. Models for Two-Way Tables The chi-square test is an overall technique for comparing any number of population proportions, testing for evidence of a relationship between two categorical variables. We can either: • Compare several populations: Randomly select several SRSs each from a different population (or from a population subjected to different treatments)  experimental study. • Test for independence: Take one SRS and classify the individuals in the sample according to two categorical variables (attribute or condition)  observational study, historical design. Both models use the c2 test to test the hypothesis of no relationship.

  22. Comparing Several Populations Select independent SRSs from each of c populations, of sizes n1, n2, . . . , nc. Classify each individual in a sample according to a categorical response variable with r possible values. There are c different probability distributions, one for each population. The null hypothesis is that the distributions of the response variable are the same in all c populations. The alternative hypothesis says that these c distributions are not all the same.

  23. Comparing Several Populations Random digit dialing telephone surveys used to exclude cell phone numbers. If the opinions of people who have only cell phones differ from those of people who have landline service, the poll results may not represent the entire adult population. The Pew Research Center interviewed separate random samples of cell-only and landline telephone users who were less than 30 years old. Here’s what the Pew survey found about how these people describe their political party affiliation. • We want to perform a test of: • H0: There is no difference in the distribution of party affiliation in the cell-only and landline populations. • Ha: There is a difference in the distribution of party affiliation in the cell-only and landline populations.

  24. Comparing Several Populations If the conditions are met, we can conduct a chi-square test. • Random:The data came from separate random samples of 96 cell-only and 104 landline users. • Large Sample Size: We used a calculator to determine the expected counts for each cell. The calculator screenshot confirms all expected counts ≥ 5. • Independent: Researchers took independent samples of cell-only and landline phone users. Sampling without replacement was used, so there need to be at least 10(96) = 960 cell-only users under age 30 and at least 10(104) = 1040 landline users under age 30. This is safe to assume.

  25. Comparing Several Populations Since the conditions are satisfied, we can a perform chi-square test. We begin by calculating the test statistic. P-Value: Using df = (3 – 1)(2 – 1) = 2, the P-value is 0.20. Because the P-value, 0.20, is greater than α = 0.05, we fail to reject H0. There is not enough evidence to conclude that the distribution of party affiliation differs in the cell-only and landline user populations.

  26. Testing for Independence Suppose we have a single sample from a single population. For each individual in this SRS of size n we measure two categorical variables. The results are then summarized in a two-way table. The null hypothesis is that the row and column variables are independent. The alternative hypothesis is that the row and column variables are dependent.

  27. Testing for Independence We’re interested in whether angrier people tend to get heart disease more often. We can compare the percents of people who did and did not get heart disease in each of the three anger categories: There is a clear trend: as the anger score increases, so does the percent who suffer heart disease. A much higher percent of people in the high-anger category developed CHD (4.27%) than in the moderate (2.33%) and low (1.70%) anger categories.

  28. Testing for Independence Here is the complete table of observed and expected counts for the CHD and anger study side by side. Do the data provide convincing evidence of an association between anger level and heart disease in the population of interest? • We want to perform a test of: • H0: There is no association between anger level and heart disease in the population of people with normal blood pressure. • Ha: There is an association between anger level and heart disease in the population of people with normal blood pressure.

  29. Testing for Independence If the conditions are met, we should conduct a chi-square test for association/independence. • Random:The data came from a random sample of 8474 people with normal blood pressure. • Large Sample Size: All the expected counts are at least 5, so this condition is met. • Independent: Knowing the values of both variables for one person in the study gives us no meaningful information about the values of the variables for another person. So individual observations are independent. Because we are sampling without replacement, we need to check that the total number of people in the population with normal blood pressure is at least 10(8474) = 84,740. This seems reasonable to assume.

  30. Testing for Independence Since the conditions are satisfied, we can perform a chi-test for association/independence. We begin by calculating the test statistic. P-Value: The two-way table of anger level versus heart disease has 2 rows and 3 columns. We will use the chi-square distribution with df = (2 – 1)(3 – 1) = 2 to find the P-value. Table: Look at the df = 2 line in Table F. The observed statistic χ2= 16.077 is larger than the critical value 15.20 for α = 0.0005. So the P-value is less than 0.0005. Technology: The calculator command χ2cdf(16.077,1000,2) gives 0.00032. Because the P-valueis clearly less than α = 0.05, we reject H0and conclude that anger level and heart disease are associated in the population of people with normal blood pressure.

  31. 9.3 Goodness of Fit* • The Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Test

  32. The Chi-Square Test for Goodness of Fit Mars, Inc. makes milk chocolate candies. Here’s what the company’s Consumer Affairs Department says about the color distribution of its M&M’S milk chocolate candies: On average, the new mix of colors of M&M’S milk chocolate candies will contain 13 percent of each of browns and reds, 14 percent yellows, 16 percent greens, 20 percent oranges, and 24 percent blues. The one-way table below summarizes the data from a sample bag of M&M’S milk chocolate candies. In general, one-way tables display the distribution of a categorical variable for the individuals in a sample.

  33. The Chi-Square Test for Goodness of Fit Since the company claims that 24% of all M&M’S milk chocolate candies are blue, we might believe that something fishy is going on. We could use the z test for a proportion to test the hypotheses: H0: p = 0.24 Ha: p ≠ 0.24 where p is the true population proportion of blue M&M’S. We could then perform additional significance tests for each of the remaining colors. However, performing a one-sample z test for each proportion would be pretty inefficient and would lead to the problem of multiple comparisons. More important, performing one-sample z tests for each color wouldn’t tell us how likely it is to get a random sample of 60 candies with a color distribution that differs as much from the one claimed by the company as this bag does (taking all the colors into consideration at one time). For that, we need a new kind of significance test, called a chi-square test for goodness of fit.

  34. The Chi-Square Test for Goodness of Fit We can write the hypotheses in symbols as: H0: pblue= 0.24, porange= 0.20, pgreen= 0.16, pyellow= 0.14, pred= 0.13, pbrown= 0.13, Ha: At least one of the pi’s is incorrect where pcolor = the true population proportion of M&M’S milk chocolate candies of that color. The idea of the chi-square test for goodness of fit is this: we compare the observed counts from our sample with the counts that would be expected if H0is true. The more the observed counts differ from the expected counts, the more evidence we have against the null hypothesis. In general, the expected counts can be obtained by multiplying the proportion of the population distribution in each category by the sample size.

  35. The Chi-Square Test for Goodness of Fit Assuming that the color distribution stated by Mars, Inc. is true, 24% of all M&M’S milk chocolate candies produced are blue. For random samples of 60 candies, the average number of blue M&M’S should be (0.24)(60) = 14.40. This is our expected count of blue M&M’S. Using this same method, we can find the expected counts for the other color categories: Orange: (0.20)(60) = 12.00 Green: (0.16)(60) = 9.60 Yellow: (0.14)(60) = 8.40 Red: (0.13)(60) = 7.80 Brown: (0.13)(60) = 7.80

  36. The Chi-Square Test for Goodness of Fit To calculate the chi-square statistic, use the same formula as you did earlier in the chapter.

  37. The Chi-Square Test for Goodness of Fit The Chi-Square Test for Goodness of Fit A categorical variable has k possible outcomes, with probabilities p1, p2, p3, … , pk. That is, piis the probability of the ith outcome. We have n independent observations from this categorical variable. To test the null hypothesis that the probabilities have specified values H0: p1 = ___, p2 = ___, …, pk = ___. find the expected count for each category assuming that H0is true. Then calculate the chi-square statistic:

  38. The Chi-Square Test for Goodness of Fit Since our P-value is between 0.05 and 0.10, it is greater than α = 0.05.Therefore, we fail to reject H0. We don’t have sufficient evidence to conclude that the company’s claimed color distribution is incorrect.
