Hypothesis Testing Procedure for Chi-Square Testing
5 Steps to Perform an Chi-Square Testing STEP 01 State the null and alternative hypotheses ( STEP 02 ) Determine the expected counts (frequencies of occurrence of certain events expected under the null hypothesis) and observed counts of data points falling in the different cells. Compute the test statistic value (based on the difference between the observed and the expected; Hint: Establishing a table) Find the critical value at the predetermined significance level. Draw conclusion by comparing the test statistic value and the critical value.

PROBLEM:
A study reports an analysis of 35 key product categories. At the time of the study, 72.9% of the products sold were of a national brand, 23% were private label, and 4.1% were generic. Suppose that you want to test whether these percentages are still valid for the market today. You collect a random sample of 1,000 products in the 35 product categories studied, and you find the following: 610 products are of a
