Question

Determine whether the following statement is true or false.

For a test of​ independence, the population that the data has come from must be normally distributed.
A. True
B. False

Answer 1

The provided statement is False.

Explanation:

The assumptions to perform a test of​ independence are:

• The sample selected is random
• A large sample is selected
• The observations are independent of each other
• The observations follow the same distribution.

It is not necessary that the parent population or the population from which the sample is collected is normally distributed.

Thus, the provided statement is False.
