Question 19

A social scientist investigated whether there is an association between regular exercise (Yes/No) and high self-rated well-being (Yes/No). They conducted a Chi-square test of association on the collected data. Part of the calculation table is shown below.

Formula for χ2\chi^2χ2:

χ2=∑(O−E)2E \chi^2 = \sum \frac{(O - E)^2}{E} χ2=∑E(O−E)2​

Calculate the overall value of Chi-square (χ2\chi^2χ2). Show your workings.
