Arizona State University Chi Square Lab Project

**PLEASE NOTE: Lab assignments that use the Laerd guides require you to walk through SPSS activities according to the process outlined in Laerd, then using what you learned through that process, you should write a response to the lab questions IN YOUR OWN WORDS. Do not simply copy and paste written descriptions from Laerd and use them as your own work.

The benefit of using Laerd Statistics as our primary resource for this course is that it has in-depth guides to conducting hypothesis tests in SPSS. Your task in this lab is to follow along with the Laerd Statistics resource for the chi-square goodness of fit test (

https://statistics.laerd.com/premium/spss/gof/goodness-of-fit-in-spss.php (Links to an external site.)

) and the resource for the chi-square test for association (

https://statistics.laerd.com/premium/spss/cstoirxc/chi-square-test-of-independence-rxc-in-spss.php (Links to an external site.)

) and learn how to conduct this test in SPSS.

Activity:

Make sure to read through each page of the guides thoroughly, downloading the data when it prompts you to, and replicating the steps in SPSS along with the guides. There are several steps in the hypothesis testing process. Take your time, read the descriptions in the guides, and make sure you feel comfortable with why you are conducting the steps in SPSS. Your comprehension is very important at this stage because I will ask you to apply these skills with considerably less direction in the homework assignment for this module.

Answer the following questions in the Word document you will submit for this lab. **Please note – follow these directions for BOTH chi-square tests in this module:
