Math Problem Statement

Find the Probability Question content area bottom Part 1 ​P( chi Subscript 85 Superscript 2 greater than 79.355​) equals    enter your response here ​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)

Solution

To solve the probability P(χ852>79.355)P(\chi^2_{85} > 79.355), we need to refer to the chi-square distribution table or use a statistical calculator/software since the chi-square distribution is not symmetric.

Given:

  • Degrees of freedom (dfdf) = 85
  • We want to find P(χ2>79.355)P(\chi^2 > 79.355)

We use the complement rule and look up or calculate the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for the chi-square statistic.

Let me calculate the value.The probability P(χ852>79.355)P(\chi^2_{85} > 79.355) is approximately 0.6523.

  2. How does the degrees of freedom affect the chi-square distribution?
  3. How is the chi-square test used in hypothesis testing?
  4. What is the relationship between chi-square values and p-values?
  5. How can we interpret a high or low chi-square value?

Tip: Chi-square distributions are particularly useful when testing the fit of observed data to expected outcomes, such as in goodness-of-fit tests.
