Chi-Square as a statistical test BUSINESS
Chi-square test: an inferential statistics technique designed to
test for significant relationships between two variables
organized in a bivariate table.
The chisquare test can be used to evaluate a relationship
between two categorical variables.
It is one example of a nonparametric test.
Chi-square requires no assumptions about the shape of the
population distribution from which a sample is drawn.
However, like all inferential techniques it assumes random
sampling.

Suppose that 125 children are shown three television commercials
for breakfast cereal and are asked to pick which they liked best.
The results are shown in the table below.

Example 1 BUSINESS
Northern States Marketing Research has been asked to determine
if an advertising campaign for a new cell phone is increased
customer recognition of the new World A phone. A random
sample of 270 residents of a major city were asked if they knew
about the World A phone before the advertising campaign. In this
survey 50 respondents had heard of World A. After the
advertising campaign a second random sample of 203 residents
were asked exactly the same question using the same protocol. In
this case, 81 respondents had heard of the World A phone. Do
these results provide evidence that customer recognition increased
after the advertising campaign?
UIC
Solution BUSINESS
Let 1 and 2 be the population proportions that recognized the
World A phone before and after the advertising campaign,
respectively. The null hypothesis
0 : 1 = 2
versus
: 1 < 2
The decision rule is to reject 0 in favor of 1 if
1 2
<
1 1
1 +
1 2
The data for this problem are as follows:
50 81
1 = 270, 1 = = 0.185, 2 = 203, 2 = = 0.399
270 203
UIC
Solution contd BUSINESS
The estimate of the common variance under the null hypothesis is
as follows
1 1 + 2 2 270 0.185 + (203)(0.399)
= = = 0.277
1 + 2 270 + 203
The test statistic is as follows:
1 2 0.185 0.399
=
1 1 1 1
1 + 0.277 1 0.277 +
1 2 270 203
= 5.15
For a one-tailed test with = 0.05, the value is -1.645. Thus,
we reject the null-hypothesis and conclude that customer
recognition did increase after the advertising campaign.

Example 2 BUSINESS
When marketers position or establish new brands, they aim to
differentiate their product from its competition. To investigate the
consumers perception, consumers are exposed to different products and
asked what comes to their mind when they see or hear of this product.
For example, suppose a study was conducted to determine whether
Safety or Sporty comes to a persons mind when they see or hear of
a particular type of automobile: BMW, Mercedes, or Lexus. Associations
and products can be organized in a cross table below. We want to
know whether the products mentioned differ in their associations and
are, thus, perceived as dissimilar.
Automobile SPORTY SAFETY TOTAL
BMW 256 74 330
Mercedes 41 42 83
Lexus 66 34 100
Total 363 150 513
UIC
Solution BUSINESS
The null hypothesis to be tested implies that, in the population, the
three types of automobiles are perceived as similar; that is no
association between automobile type and costumers perception
of the car as being known for being sporty or being known for its
safety.
To do the test, we first calculate the expected values.

Example 5 BUSINESS
When comparing three treatments in a one-way ANOVA, the null
hypothesis would be; that is, all three treatments have the same
effect on the mean response. In words, how would you interpret
the alternative hypothesis Ha?
A) At least two treatments are different from each other in terms
of their effect on the mean response.
B) All three treatments have different effects on the mean
response.
C) Exactly two of the three treatments have the same effect on
the mean response.
D) All of the above
Solution: A
