Which Test is Appropriate? Is Gender a factor in a person’s favorite fruit? 400 men and 500 women were asked what their favorite fruit is to see if the distribution of favorite fruit is the same for men and women.

A	Chi-square Goodness of Fit Test
B	Chi-Square Test for Homogeneity
C	Chi-Square Test for Independence/Association
D	Not a Chi-square test

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -A Chi-square test would allow you to test how likely it is that gender and party affiliation are completely independent; or in other words, how likely it is that the distribution of males and females in each party is due to chance.

Detailed explanation-2: -The chi-square test is used exclusively for data put into classes (bins), and it requires a sufficient sample size in order to produce accurate results. Goodness-of-fit tests are commonly used to test for the normality of residuals or to determine whether two samples are gathered from identical distributions.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is used to describe the distribution of a sum of squared random variables. It is also used to test the goodness of fit of a distribution of data, whether data series are independent, and for estimating confidences surrounding variance and standard deviation for a random variable from a normal distribution.
