Bring to mind a real-world situation or problem that would best be analyzed in the chi-square test of association. This would be a nonparametric procedure that requires different assumptions.

For this situation or problem, please make sure that the following is addressed:

Real-world situation or problem you selected to address; the independent and dependent variables you would study; the research question; the statistical null and alternative hypotheses; an explanation of why this test is appropriate and why a parametric procedure, such as correlation or ANOVA, would not be appropriate; and the measure of effect size that would be used and an explanation of what it would tell you.

Suppose that a ready-made clothes distributor is supposed to deliver a large quantity of sweatshirts to a foreign consignment in Canada. The dealer has ordered 47% to be white, 33% black, and 20% green. A random sample of 300 sweatshirts was selected by an inspector and 150 white, 85 black, and 65 green sweatshirts were counted. We want to test the hypothesis whether the delivery of sweaters ...
