Using SPSS for Chi Square UDP 520 Lab 5 Lin Lin November 8th, 2007 Outline Dataset Review t-test Chi-square Exercise BMI Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women. Under normal weight: BMI 25 Overweight obesity: BMI ≥ 25 Dataset – WLTP 1000 adults aged 18+ (males and females) were recruited to study the effectiveness of Weight Loss Training Program (WLTP) Variables Sex (female=1) BMI_1(before WLTP) BMI_2(after WLTP) Urban or suburban (urban=1) Overweight_1 (overweight before WLTP) (overweight=1) Overweight_2 (overweight after WLTP) (overweight=1) /urbdp520/UDP520/WLTP.sav Question 1 Is BMI significantly different between people who live in an urban area and those who live in a suburb area before WLTP? Independent samples t-test Question 1 – Step by Step Step 1: Making assumptions and meeting test requirements Sampling is random Level of measurement is interval-ratio Sampling distribution is normal Step 2: Stating the null hypothesis Step 3: Selecting the sampling distribution and establishing the critical region Sampling distribution = Z distribution Alpha = 0.05, two-tailed Z(critical) = ±1.96 Question 1 (cont.) Step 4: Computing the test statistic in SPSS Question 1 (cont.) Step 5: Making a decision and interpreting the results of the test Question 2 Is there any relationship between living in a suburban area and being overweight before WLTP? Under normal weight: BMI 25 Overweight obese: BMI ≥ 25 Chi Square test Question 2 – Step by Step Step 1: Making assumptions and meeting test requirements Random sampling Level of measurement is nominal Step 2: Stating the null hypothesis H0: Living in an urban area and being overweight are independent Ha: Living in an urban area and being overweight are dependent Step 3: Selecting the sampling distribution and establishing the critical region Sampling distribution = χ2 distribution Alpha = 0.05 Df = (r-1)
