Chapter 12: Q. 12.15 (page 491)

In each of Exercises 12.11-12.16, we have given the relative frequencies for the null hypothesis of a chi-square goodness-of-fir text and the sample size. In each case, decide whether Assumptions 1 and 2 for using that text are satisfied.

Sample size : n= 50.

Relative frequencies: 0.22 , 0.22 , 0.25 , 0.30 , 0.01.

Short Answer

Expert verified

In assumption 1 , All the expected frequencies are鈮�1.

In assumption 2 ,

Number of expected frequencies less than 5 = 1

Percentage of expected frequencies less than 5 = 15脳100=20

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

The sample size is n= 50

02

Step 2. Assumption 1 

Relative frequencyExpected frequency
( p)( np )
0.2211
0.2211
0.2512.5
0.3015
0.010.5

expected frequencies are 0.5 < 1.

Assumption 1 is not satisfied .

03

Step 3. Assumption 2

Number of expected frequencies less than 5 = 1

Percentage of expected frequencies less than 5 = 15脳100=20

鈭�Assumption 2 is satisfied.

12.81 Learning at Home. M. Stuart et al. studied various aspects of grade-school children

and their mothers and reported their findings in the article "Learning to Read at Home

and at School" (British Journal of Educational Psychology, 68(1), pp. 3-14).

The researchers gave a questionnaire to parents of 66 children in kindergarten

through second grade. Two social-class groups, middle and working, were identified based on the mother's occupation.

a. One of the questions dealt with the children's knowledge of nurs-

In each of Exercises 12.24-12.33, apply the chi-square goodness-of-fit test, using either the critical-value approach or theP-value approach, to perform the required hypothesis test.
Observing that the proportion of blue M&Ms in his bowl of candy appeared to be less than that of the other colors, R. Fricker, Jr., decided to compare the color distribution in randomly chosen bags of M&Ms to the theoretical distribution reported by M&M/MARS consumer affairs. Fricker published his findings in "The Mysterious Case of the Blue M&Ms" (Chance, Vol. 9(4), pp. 19-22). The following table gives the theoretical distribution.
For his study, Fricker bought three bags of M&Ms from local stores and counted the number of each color. The average number of each color in the three bags was distributed as follows.

Do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the color distribution of M&Ms differs from that reported by M&M/MARS consumer affairs? Use 伪=0.05.

The U.S. Census Bureau publishes census data on the resident population of the United States in Current Population Reports. According to that document, 7.3% of male residents are in the age group20鈭�24 years.
a. If there is no association exists between age group and gender, what percentage of the resident population would be in the age group20鈭�24 years? Explain your answer.
b. If there is no association exists between age group and gender, what percentage of female residents would be in the age group20鈭�24 years? Explain your answer.
c. There are about 158million female residents of the United States. If no association exists between age group and gender, how many female residents would there be in the age group20鈭�24 years?
d. In fact, there are some 10.2 million female residents in the age group20鈭�24 years. Given this number and your answer to part (c), what do you conclude?

For a 蠂2-curve with df=10, determine

a. 蠂0.052
