Researchers at a food company are interested in how a new ketchup made from green tomatoes (and green in color) will compare to their traditional red ketchup. They randomly assign participants to either the green or red ketchup condition. Participants indicate the tastiness of the sauce on a 20-point scale. Tastiness scores tended to be skewed (not normal). What statistical test should be used to analyze that data

Respuesta :

The statistical test which can be used to analyze the data is chi square test.

Given two categories of tomatoes , one is red and other one is green.

When we want to compare more than two categorical variables, we can use the chi-square test. The main objective of chi square test is to compare the distribution of responses or the proportions of participants in each response category. This test does not require mean, standard deviation or anything. In the given problem we have not given sample mean, population mean, population standard deviation, etc. So we cannot use z test, t test, f test because they require sample mean, population mean , standard deviation in their calculation. The formula to be use in chi square test is as under:

[tex]X^{2}=[/tex]∑[tex](f_{0} -f_{e}) ^{2} /f_{e}[/tex]

where [tex]f_{0}[/tex]= observed frequency of each of response category.

[tex]f_{1}[/tex]=expected frequency in each of the response categories.

We can find the critical value in a table of probabilities for the chi square distribution with degree of freedom df=K-1.

Hence we can use chi square test to analyze the data.
