Statistical Analysis: Chi-Square Test on Seed Color and Soil Types

This assignment provides a comprehensive analysis of the Chi-Square Test, a statistical method used to determine the significance of the difference between observed and expected results. The solution presents three distinct tasks. Task 1 involves an initial Chi-Square test on plant data, includi...Read More

TASK 3
CHI- SQUARE TEST
In relation with analysation the Chi square test of the given data set which insists that
there will be appropriate outcomes. It comprises with having effective control over creating the
hypothesis that will be effective in meeting the sampling distribution level and analysing the
hypothesis outcomes of the analysed data set. Moreover, to address the effective outcomes from
the analysed data set which insist that there will be appropriate gains and losses. Therefore, to
analyse the data set there have been implication of various techniques which will be effective as
per analysing relation between type of seeds as well as their colours. Thus, there will be
preparation of Two hypothesis such as:
Null Hypothesis (H0): There is no significance difference in between colours of seeds
and types of seeds.
Alternative hypothesis (H1): There is a Significance difference between colours of
seeds and types of seeds.

TASK 4
A Measuring the x square values and extended chi-square analysis which in turn will be effective
as per addressing the probability of outcomes as %
In relation with the derived outcomes it can be said that it insist 5% of the significance
value which demonstrates here the percentage outcomes at 3.13%.

B Determining the valuation of table which will address the significance value
P(χ2 > 10.612) = 0.0313
C Rejection of H0 on the basis of outcomes
P < 0.05 so H1 is accepted.
