Chi-Squared Analysis: AP Biology Unit 4

A chi-squared test is any statistical hypothesis test in which the sampling distribution of the test statistic is a chi-squared distribution when the null hypothesis is true. Also considered a chi-squared test is a test in which this is asymptotically true, meaning that the sampling distribution (if the null hypothesis is true) can be made to approximate a chi-squared distribution as closely as desired by making the sample size large enough.

Chi-Squared (2) Analysis

AP Biology Unit 4

What is Chi-Squared?
In genetics, you can predict genotypes based on probability (expected results) Chi-squared is a form of statistical analysis used to compare the actual results (observed) with the expected results NOTE: 2 is the name of the whole variable you will never take the square root of it or solve for

Chi-squared
If the expected and observed (actual) values are the same then the 2 = 0 If the 2 value is 0 or is small then the data fits your hypothesis (the expected values) well. By calculating the 2 value you determine if there is a statistically significant difference between the expected and actual values.

Step 1: Calculating 2
First, determine what your expected and observed values are. Observed (Actual) values: That should be something you get from data usually no calculations Expected values: based on probability Suggestion: make a table with the expected and actual values

Step 1: Example
Observed (actual) values: Suppose you have 90 tongue rollers and 10 nonrollers Expected: Suppose the parent genotypes were both Rr using a punnett square, you would expect 75% tongue rollers, 25% nonrollers This translates to 75 tongue rollers, 25 nonrollers (since the population you are dealing with is 100 individuals)

Step 1: Example
Table should look like this:
Expected Tongue rollers Nonrollers 75 25 Observed (Actual) 90 10

Step 2: Calculating 2
Use the formula to calculated 2 For each different category (genotype or phenotype calculate (observed expected)2 / expected Add up all of these values to determine 2

Step 2: Calculating 2

Step 2: Example
Using the data from before: Tongue rollers (90 75)2 / 75 = 3 Nonrollers (10 25)2 / 25 = 9 2 = 3 + 9 = 12

Step 3: Determining Degrees of Freedom


Degrees of freedom = # of categories 1 Ex. For the example problem, there were two categories (tongue rollers and nonrollers) degrees of freedom = 2 1 Degrees of freedom = 1

Step 4: Critical Value


Using the degrees of freedom, determine the critical value using the provided table Df = 1 Critical value = 3.84

Step 5: Conclusion
If 2 > critical value there is a statistically significant difference between the actual and expected values. If 2 < critical value there is a NOT statistically significant difference between the actual and expected values.

Step 5: Example
2 = 12 > 3.84 There is a statistically significant difference between the observed and expected population

Chi-squared and Hardy Weinberg


Review: If the observed (actual) and expected genotype frequencies are the same then a population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium But how close is close enough?
Use Chi-squared to figure it out! If there isnt a statistically significant difference between the expected and actual frequencies, then it is in equilibrium

Example
Using the example from yesterday
Ferrets BB Bb bb Expected 0.45 x 164 = 74 0.44 x 164 = 72 0.11 x 164 = 18 Observed (Actual) 78 65 21

Example
2 Calculation
BB: Bb: bb: 2 = (78 74)2 / 74 = 0.21 (72 65)2 / 72 = 0.68 (18 21)2 / 18 = 0.5 0.21 + 0.68 + 0.5 = 1.39

Degrees of Freedom = 3 1 = 2 Critical value = 5.99 2 < 5.99 there is not a statistically significant difference between expected and actual values population DOES SEEM TO BE in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium (different answer from last lecture more accurate)
