A large outpatient medical clinic has hired a program evaluator to assist them in planning new services for immigrants with
language barriers, such as translators. They have selected a sample of 520 recept patients with identified language barriers on
their most recent medical records. Based upon all existing records of patients with language barriers, they expect to find the
following proportions: 21% (-21) who have a mild language barrier; 42% (42) who have a moderate language barrier; and 37%
(37) with a severe barrier. Using the formula for expected values for Goodness of Fit tests, calculate the expected value for those
with a severe barrier.

Answer 1

The expected value for patients with a severe language barrier is 192.4, calculated by multiplying the sample size of 520 by the expected proportion of 37%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is dealing with a concept from statistics called the Goodness of Fit test, which evaluates whether a set of observed category frequencies matches a theoretical expected frequency distribution. To calculate the expected value for those with a severe barrier given a sample of 520 patients, you multiply the total sample (520) by the proportion expected for that category (37%).

Expected value = Total number of patients × Proportion of severe barrier
= 520 × 0.37
= 192.4
