To calculate the expected frequencies for a chi square analysis, you need all but which of the following?
A) number of cases in the table (N)
B) row marginals
C) observed frequencies
D) column marginals

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In order to calculate expected frequencies for a chi square analysis, you need the number of cases in the table (N), row and column marginals. The observed frequencies are already given in the table and are used to compare the expected frequencies to determine the goodness of fit. Therefore, the correct answer is C, as observed frequencies are not needed to calculate expected frequencies.
