Question:
a. Show that another expression for the chi-squared statistic is 2
k i1
n N
pi 2
i 0
n Why is it more efficient to compute 2 using this formula?
b. When the null hypothesis is H0: p1 p2
pk 1/k
(i.e., pi0 1/k for all i), how does the formula of part (a)
simplify? Use the simplified expression to calculate 2 for the pigeon/direction data in Exercise 4.
