Chi Squares Using Spss

1.

RQ: Is there a relationship between party identification and those who paid attention to national television campaign news?

Ho: There is no relationship between party identification and those who paid attention to national television campaign news.

Ha: There is a relationship between party identification and those who paid attention to national television campaign news.

Alpha = .05

Assumptions: The sample is random, the distribution is free, the test is non-parametric, and nominal level variables are being used.

The test statistic being used is the chi-square test because we are making comparisons of the distribution of numbers into different cases and not making comparisons between means.

Calculations:

|Chi-Square Tests |

| |Value |df |Asymp. Sig. (2-sided)|

|Pearson Chi-Square |104.965a |24 |.000 |

|Likelihood Ratio |108.406 |24 |.000 |

|Linear-by-Linear Association |2.331 |1 |.127 |

|N of Valid Cases |1469 | | |

|a. 0 cells (.0%) have expected count less than 5. The minimum expected count is 17.09. |

Since the significance level (.000) is lower than Alpha, the null hypothesis can be rejected and it can be concluded that there is a relationship between party identification and those who paid attention to national television campaign news.

The test can be assumed to be valid considering that the correct test was used, there was no bias in the sample, the sample size is accurate, and the math is correct.
