The following four
HINTS:
• Calculate the expected frequencies for each cell with Formula 10.2. Double check to make sure you are using the correct row and column marginals for each cell.
• It may he helpful to record the expected frequencies in table format—see Tables 10.4 and 10.8.
• Use a computational table to organize the calculation for Formula 10.1—see Tables 10.5 and 10.9.
• Follow the step-by-step instructions.
• Double-check to make sure you are using the correct values for each cell.
