Multiple Choice
In chi-square analysis,the greater the number of cells,the larger the degrees of freedom.The greater the number of cells,the more opportunity exists to calculate a large chi-square value.In other words,the chi-square value can be "inflated" not due to a real association but simply due to the fact that there are more cells in the analysis.This is why degrees of freedom are used to:
A) determine how many cells you should analyze.
B) determine whether or not the computed chi-square value should be used for a post hoc test.
C) determine whether or not the chi-square value has a probability high enough to support,or not support,the null hypothesis.
D) all of the above
E) None of the above;degrees of freedom is not calculated with the chi-square test.
