Chapter 12: Q. 12.43 (page 499)

Consider the variables "gender" and "college".

Part (a): Group the bivariate data for these two variables into a contingency table.

Part (b): Determine the conditional distribution of gender within each college and the marginal distribution of gender.

Part (c): Determine the conditional distribution of college within each college and the marginal distribution of college.

Part (d): Does an association exist between the variables "gender" and "college" for this population? Explain your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a): The contingency table is given below,

Part (b): The distribution is given below,

Part (c): The distribution is given below,

Part (d): Yes. As the conditional distributions of one variables given the other are not identical.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information.

Consider the given question,

02

Part (a) Step 2. Write the contingency table. 

On grouping the bivariate data for the two variables "gender" and "college" into a contingency table is given below,

03

Part (b) Step 1. Determine the conditional distribution of gender.

The table given below is of required conditional and marginal distribution,

The last given row shows the marginal distribution of the variable gender.

04

Part (c) Step 1. Determine the conditional distribution of college.

The table given below is of required conditional and marginal distribution,

The last column shows the required marginal distribution.

05

Part (d) Step 1. Explain if an association exist.

Yes, an association exist between the variables "gender" and "college" for this population.

Because the conditional distributions of one variables given the other are not identical.

A chi-square independence test is to be conducted to decide whether an association exists between two variables of a population. One variable has six possible values, and the other variable has four. What is the degrees of freedom for the 蠂2statistic?
Slot Machines. In the article "The Influence of Theme as Slot Machine Attribute on Casino Gamers Decision-Making" (American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, No. 7, pp. 734-739) E. Wannenburg et al. explore the effects of theme on slot-machin gamers. Independent random samples of male and female slot gamer were asked whether the theme of a slot machine plays a role in their slot-machine game selection. The responses are summarized in the following table.

At the1%significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a difference between male and female slot gamers with regard to the way they perceive theme as a slot machine
gamers with regard to the way they perceive theme as a slot machine attribute?

Road Rage. The report Controlling Road Rage: A Literature Review and Pilot Study was prepared for the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety by D. Rathbone and. Huckabee. The authors discussed the results of a literature review and pilot study on how to prevent aggressive driving and road rage. Road rage is defined as an incident in which an angry or impatient motorist or passenger intentionally injures or kills another motorist, passenger, or pedestrian, or attempts or threatens to injure or kill another motorist, passenger, or pedestrian." One aspect of the study was to investigate road rage as a function of the day of the week. The following table provides a frequency distribution for the days on which 69 road-rage incidents occurred.

At the significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that road-rage incidents are more likely to occur on some days than on others?

Deceptive News. In the article "When News Reporters Deceive: The Production of Stereotypes" (Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, Vol. 84, No. 2, pp. 281-298), researchers D. Lasorsa and J. Dai investigated the relationship between authenticity and tone for news stories. Tone was measured by using a method of coding sentences and was categorized as positive, neutral, or negative. A sample of stories yielded the following data. At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that an association exists between authenticity and tone?

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.
