Table 12.4 on page 486 showed the calculated sums of the observed frequencies, the expected frequencies, and their differences. Strictly speaking, those sums are not needed. However, they serve as a check for computational errors.

a) In general, what common value should the sum of the observer frequencies and the sum of the expected frequencies equal? Ex plain your answer.

b) Fill in the blank. The sum of the differences between each observed and expected frequency should equal

c) Suppose that you are conducting a chi-square goodness-of-fit test. If the sum of the expected frequencies does not equal the sample size, what do you conclude?

d) Suppose that you are conducting a chi-square goodness-of-fit test. If the sum of the expected frequencies equals the sample size, can you conclude that you made no error in calculating the expected frequencies? Explain your answer.

The Quinnipiac University Poll conducts nationwide surveys as a public service and of research. This problem is based on the results of once such poll. Independent simple random samples of 300residents each in read (predominantly Republiclian), blue (predominantly Democratic) and purple (mixed) states were asked how satisfied they were with the way things are going today. The following table summarizes the responses.

At the 10%significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the satisfaction-level distributions differ among residents of red, blue and purple states?

Bottled Water. A project exploring the bottled-water phenomenon and preference of water types was conducted by researchers M. Lunsford and A. Fink in the article "Water Taste Test Data" (Journal of Statistics Education, Vol. 18, No. 1). One hundred nine subjects participated in double-blind taste tests of three different bottled water brands (Fiji, Aquafina, and Sam's Choice) and tap water. Twelve people preferred the tap water, 27 Aquafino 44 Fiji, and 26 Sam's Choice. At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the four different water types are not equally likely in preference?
