Preparing to Conduct Inference for Two-Way Tables — Quiz

Question 6 • Statistics

The principal would like to know if these data provide convincing evidence of a relationship between grade level and having a driver’s license in the population of all students in her school. What is the appropriate inference procedure?

Answer
A
chi-square test for homogeneity because the data come from independent random samples
B
chi-square test for goodness of fit because the data come from one random sample
C
chi-square test for association/independence because the data come from one random sample
D
chi-square test for association/independence because the data come from independent random samples

Explanation

Use a chi-square test for association/independence when one random sample is used to measure two categorical variables on each individual. Here, the variables are grade level and whether a student has a driver’s license, and the question asks whether they are related. A test for homogeneity instead compares distributions across independent samples or groups.
