Solution

To find P(χ752>90.534)P(\chi^2_{75} > 90.534), we are looking for the probability that a chi-square random variable with 75 degrees of freedom exceeds the value 90.534.

Steps:

  1. Chi-Square Distribution: The chi-square distribution with 75 degrees of freedom is represented as χ752\chi^2_{75}.

  2. Use a Chi-Square Table or Calculator: To find P(χ752>90.534)P(\chi^2_{75} > 90.534), you can either use a chi-square distribution table or a statistical calculator. This probability represents the area to the right of 90.534 under the chi-square distribution curve with 75 degrees of freedom.

  3. Computing the Probability: We need the cumulative probability P(χ75290.534)P(\chi^2_{75} \leq 90.534) and then subtract it from 1 to find the tail probability.

    Using a calculator or statistical software, we find:

    P(χ75290.534)0.9196P(\chi^2_{75} \leq 90.534) \approx 0.9196

    Therefore,

    P(χ752>90.534)=10.9196=0.0804P(\chi^2_{75} > 90.534) = 1 - 0.9196 = 0.0804

Final Answer:

P(χ752>90.534)0.0804P(\chi^2_{75} > 90.534) \approx 0.0804


Would you like further clarification or assistance on this topic? Here are a few related questions:

  1. How do you calculate probabilities for other distributions like normal or t-distribution?
  2. What does the chi-square distribution represent in hypothesis testing?
  3. How does the number of degrees of freedom affect the chi-square distribution?
  4. What is the concept of critical values in chi-square tests?
  5. How can you use software like R or Python to calculate chi-square probabilities?

Tip: When working with chi-square probabilities, always check if your software or table provides the cumulative distribution function (CDF) value directly or if you need to subtract from 1 to find the tail probability.
