AP Statistics 3.15 A Calculate Expected Counts for Two Way Tables of Categorical Data Questions

Practise calculating expected counts in two-way tables from row, column, and grand totals, then using them to evaluate chi-square cell contributions.

Exam points

Calculate an expected cell count as row total times column total divided by grand total.
Keep expected counts as model-based values; they do not have to be whole numbers.
Use expected counts to form a cell's chi-square contribution from observed-minus-expected.
