To calculate the test statistic for this contingency table, we will use the chi-square test for independence.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1. Set up the Hypothesis:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Null Hypothesis (H0): The type of worker and the category (Professional, Personal, Both) are independent.
\n" ); document.write( "Alternative Hypothesis (H1): The type of worker and the category are dependent.
\n" ); document.write( "2. Create the Contingency Table:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Type of Worker Professional Personal Both Total
\n" ); document.write( "Technical 38 35 34 107
\n" ); document.write( "Other 49 30 34 113
\n" ); document.write( "Total 87 65 68 220\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Export to Sheets
\n" ); document.write( "3. Calculate the Expected Frequencies:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The expected frequency for each cell is calculated as:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Expected Frequency = (Row Total * Column Total) / Grand Total\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Expected (Technical, Professional) = (107 * 87) / 220 ≈ 42.34
\n" ); document.write( "Expected (Technical, Personal) = (107 * 65) / 220 ≈ 31.65
\n" ); document.write( "Expected (Technical, Both) = (107 * 68) / 220 ≈ 33.01
\n" ); document.write( "Expected (Other, Professional) = (113 * 87) / 220 ≈ 44.66
\n" ); document.write( "Expected (Other, Personal) = (113 * 65) / 220 ≈ 33.35
\n" ); document.write( "Expected (Other, Both) = (113 * 68) / 220 ≈ 34.99
\n" ); document.write( "4. Calculate the Chi-Square Statistic:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The chi-square statistic (χ²) is calculated using the formula:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "χ² = Σ [(Observed - Expected)² / Expected]\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "χ² = [(38 - 42.34)² / 42.34] + [(35 - 31.65)² / 31.65] + [(34 - 33.01)² / 33.01] + [(49 - 44.66)² / 44.66] + [(30 - 33.35)² / 33.35] + [(34 - 34.99)² / 34.99]\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "χ² ≈ 0.457 + 0.354 + 0.029 + 0.413 + 0.334 + 0.028\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "χ² ≈ 1.615\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Using Technology:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "As shown by the provided python code, using the scipy library the chi-square statistic is calculated as 1.612983358368212.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The test statistic (chi-square statistic) is approximately 1.613.
