   Question

   In a Chi-square test of independence the term “expected counts” refers to:

   
   
   1. FALSE: The counts that one deems known for the population under study
   2. FALSE: The counts observed in the sample data.
   3. FALSE: The counts observed in the population under study
   4. TRUE: The counts that can be calculated based on the null hypothesis.
   
   

   Solution

   The expected counts refer to the counts that can be calculated based on the null hypothesis, as we are always comparing our model to the null-hypothesis. So we would expect certain values based on the null hypothesis and check whether the observed values deviate from these expected values considerably.
