Question

conducted an experiment with orange, purple and blue colored lights to grow spinach. During their experiment, they conducted a chi-square analysis. Their chi-square sum was 0.85. If their sum is less than the probability value, then their data fits their experiment to reject the null. If their sum is greater than the probability value to, then their data does not fit their experiment to accept the null. What was the conclusion of the data results for their experiment

Answer 1

There is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

Their sum is greater than the probability value , the data does not fit the experiment and the null is accepted.

Explanation:

There are 3 colors so degrees of freedom = 3-1 = 2

The chi square value = 0.85

The p value for chi square =0.85 for 2 degrees of freedom for the left tailed test to be 0.34623 for 0.1,0.05 and 0.01 significance level.

There is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

The p value for chi square =0.85 for 2 degrees of freedom for the right tailed test to be 0.65377 for 0.1,0.05 and 0.01 significance level.

There is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

Their sum is greater than the probability value , the data does not fit the experiment and the null is accepted.
