Job Satisfaction. A CNN/USA TODAY poll conducted by Gallul asked a sample of employed Americans the following question: "Which do you enjoy more, the hours when you are on your job, or the hours when you are not on your job?" The responses to this question were cross-tabulated against several characteristics, among which were gender, age, type of community, educational attainment, income, and type of employer. The data are provided on the WeissStats site. In each of Exercises 12.87-12.92, use the technology of your choice to decide, at the 5%significance level, whether an association exists between the specified pair of variables.

age and response

Short Answer

Expert verified

The null hypothesis is rejected at 5% level.

The results are statistically significant at 5% level of significance.

There is an association exists between age and response at the 5% significance level.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

The given significance level =5%

The given specified pair of variables= age and response

02

Step 2. Check whether or not there is association exists between age and response at 5% significance level. 

Step 1:
The test hypotheses are given below:
Null hypothesis:
H0 : There is no association exists between age and response.
Alternative hypothesis:
H1 : There is an association exists between age and response.

03

Step 3.  Finding the level of significance

Here, the level of significance is, α=0.05

04

Step 4. Find the expected frequency and test statistic. 

MINITAB procedure:
Step 1: Choose Stat > Tables > Chi-Square Test (Two-Way Table in Worksheet).
Step 2: In Columns containing the table, enter the columns of 18-29 years,30−49years, 50-64 years and 65 and older.
Step 3: Click OK.

05

Step 5. Finding the MINITAB output

Chi-square test for 18-29years,30-49years,50-64years, 65and above

From the MINITAB output,the value of the chi-square statistic is41.430

06

Step 6. Finding p-value and check the solution by rejection and interpretation 

From the MINITAB output, the P-value is0.000

Rejection rule:
If P-value≤α, then reject the null hypothesis.
Here, theP-value is lesser than the level of significance,
That is,P-value(=0.000)<α(=0.05).
Therefore, the null hypothesis is rejected at5%level.
Thus, the results are statistically significant at5%level of significance.

Interpretation:
Thus, there is an association exists between age and response at the 5%significance level.

Although the chi-square homogeneity test and the chi-square independence test use essentially the same basic procedure, the context of the two tests are quite different. Explain the difference.

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= 100.

Relative frequencies: 0.44 , 0.25 , 0.30 , 0.01.

Education of Prisoners. In the article "Education and Correctional Populations" (Bureau of Justice Statistics Special Report, NCJ 195670), C. Harlow examined the educational attainment of prisoners by type of prison facility. The following contingency table was adapted from Table 1 of the article. Frequencies are in thousands, rounded to the nearest hundred.

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 group20−24 years.
a. If there is no association exists between age group and gender, what percentage of the resident population would be in the age group20−24 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 group20−24 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 group20−24 years?
d. In fact, there are some 10.2 million female residents in the age group20−24 years. Given this number and your answer to part (c), what do you conclude?
