Answer:
The observed value of the chi-square statistic is 34.71
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data in the question';
Calculate the observed value of the chi-square statistic
The chi-square statistic will be;
∑[tex]_{i}[/tex][ ( O[tex]_{i}[/tex] - E[tex]_{i}[/tex])² / E[tex]_{i}[/tex] ]
here O[tex]_{i}[/tex] is observed frequency of [tex]_{i}[/tex]th class
E[tex]_{i}[/tex] is expected frequency of [tex]_{i}[/tex]th class
[tex]_{i}[/tex] = 1, 2 which denote the class of food experts who guess correctly and who didn't guess correctly
so
∈[tex]_{i}[/tex] = n × probability of not guessing correctly = 168 × 2/3 = 112
∈1 = n × probability of guessing correctly 168 × 1/3 = 56
so
∑[tex]_{i}[/tex][ ( O[tex]_{i}[/tex] - E[tex]_{i}[/tex])² / E[tex]_{i}[/tex] ] = [ ( 92 - 56)² / 56 ] + [ ( 76 - 112)² / 112 ]
= 1296/56 + 1296/112
= 23.14 + 11.57
= 34.71
Therefore, the observed value of the chi-square statistic is 34.71
