For a chi-squared distributed random variable with 10 degrees of freedom and a level of significance of 0.025, the chi-squared table value is 20.4831. Suppose the value of your test statistic is 16.857. This will lead you to reject the null hypothesis.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine whether to reject the null hypothesis or not, we compare the calculated test statistic (16.857) with the critical value from the chi-squared table (20.4831) at the given level of significance (0.025). Since the calculated test statistic is less than the critical value, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, the answer is false.
