The Chi square hypothesis test • Chi squared is a means of Hypothesis testing: χ2 • Chi-squared= = Σ _(O-E)2 E The Chi Squared test can help make an impartial judgment about data. Example: Form a hypothesis and test it • Hypothesis: “That quarter is loaded!” • Test: Toss the coin ten times, and count the number of heads. Compare results to expectations using chi-squared test! Steps in Chi-Square analysis • • • • 1. Form a null hypothesis (H0) 2. Calculate Chi-square 3. Determine degrees of freedom 4. Decide on minimum acceptable confidence level (usually 95%) • 5. Obtain P-value • 6. Evaluate null hypothesis (reject/ fail to reject) Steps in chi-square analysis • 1. Form a Null hypothesis: Ho =“ The coin isn’t loaded, and any differences between my results and what I expect are just due to luck.” • A null hypothesis is a hypothesis set up to be nullified. It is created in order to support an alternative hypothesis (“my friend is a scam artist with a loaded coin!”) Experimental results Heads Number of 8 results What do you think? Tails 2 Step 2: Calculate Chi Squared Σ= sigma= “sum of” Σ(O-E)2/E=sum of (Observed – Expected)2/expected = (8 heads - 5 heads)2 + (2 tails- 5 tails)2/ 5 heads = (9/5) + (9/5) = 3.6 • Chi-squared can tell you the likelihood your results are just due to chance • What do we expect, according to the null hypothesis? • What did we observe? • (8-5)2/5 + (2-5)2/5 = 18/5 = 3.6= χ2 Step 3: Determine degrees of freedom • df = number of possible outcomes-1 • For us: outcome 1: “heads”, outcome 2: “tails” • Therefore 2 possible outcomes – 1= 1= df Step 4: Decide upon a minimum acceptable level of confidence • How much confidence must we have in our answer? • P = .05: 95% confidence • P = .01: 99% confidence Degrees of freedom = number of boxes – 1 (we have 2 boxes, therefore 1 df) df P = 0.05 P = 0.01 P= 0.001 1 3.84 6.64 10.83 2 5.99 9.21 13.82 3 7.82 11.35 16.27 4 9.49 13.28 18.47 5 11.07 15.09 20.52 In the boxes: chisquared values We must have a χ2 value greater than this to reject at 95% confidence Step 5: Evaluate null hypotheis • So, is the coin loaded? • Since we require a greater than 95% confidence in order to reject our null hypothesis (χ2> 3.84), we cannot reasonably claim the coin is loaded. • Fail to reject Ho! Your homework • Determine using chi square if the genes in problem 4 of last week’s quiz are linked. • What is our null hypothesis? • What are our observed values? • What are our expected values? • What is our value of chi-squared? • How many possible outcomes are there? • Degrees of freedom? • P-value? • Reject or fail to reject Ho? Another question: Quiz “Problem 6½” • In a farm in Brno, Czech Republic, Gregor Mendel was doing the same cross, and got the following results: • Parental: 470 + 455 • Recombinant: 35 + 40 You think Gregor Mendel is a sketchy character who doesn’t do his crosses correctly. Did he make a mistake? Did you? Compare his results with yours using chi-square. Applying the Chi-squared test to your drosophila experiment • • • • • Is your gene sex-linked? Autosomal? Dominant? Recessive? Make a hypothesis: Aldox is dominant! • Make your cross • Count the offspring • What results would you expect if your hypothesis were true?
