Thread: goodness of fit test or test for independence? -stats

the question is asking me if there is a preference of food by different animals.

would this be a goodness of fit test or test for independence?
i think it's goodness of fit, but i'm not sure.

it would be goodness of fit.

it's a goodness of fit because why? i kind of just guessed...


also, this would be an independence test, right---"...determine if there is a relationship between the gender and the type of test taken."

2nd question: yes

because you want to match preferences with various foods.

ok, that makes sense.

this would be an independence test also--"evidence of a relationship in the level of activity by gender?"

thanks. i just want to be sure i understand.

yes that would also be a test of independence.

great. thanks a lot for your help.
