I have till 5/9/16 to turn this in. This is a take home exam and I desperately need the answers to keep my A in this class.
- One sample of n = 5 scores has a variance of s2 = 10 and a second sample of n = 10 scores has s2 = 20. If the pooled variance is computed for these two samples, then the value obtained will be ________.
- Cannot be determined without more information.
- Closer to 20 than to 10
- Closer to 10 than to 20
- Exactly half way between 10 and 20
- As the observed frequencies get closer to the expected frequencies, the value of the chi-square statistic:
- Increases.
- Decreases.
- Does not change.
- Not enough information provided.
- Under what circumstances should the chi-square statistic NOT be used?
- If fe > 5 for any cell.
- If fe < 5 for any cell.
- If fe = fo for any cell.
- None of the other options is correct.

- Add in this set. What is the ANOVA statistic? Make an ANOVA table.
- Consider the following data set.
| A | B | C | Rows |
Male | fo = fe = _____ | fo = fe = _____ | fo = fe = _____ | ? row? = _____ |
Female | fo = fe = _____ | fo = fe = _____ | fo = fe = _____ | ? row? = _____ |
Columns | ? colA = _____ | ? colB = _____ | ? colC = _____ | N = _____ |
