Short Answer

Expert verified

Taking alpha =0.05, we can see that p<. This means that we reject null hypothesis.

Hypotheses test

We want to test these hypothesis:

H0: Geographic location is independent of favorite ice cream flavors

H1: Geographic location depends on favorite ice cream flavors

Since there are 3regions and 4flavors, the number of degrees of freedom is

(3-1)(4-1)=6

We are using 2distribution. Test statistic is given by:

2=i=13j=14Obi,j-Exi,j2Exi,j=67.93506

03

Graph

Using the applet for 2distribution, we get that p-value is 0:

Graphical explanation

Taking alpha =0.05, we can see that p<. This means that we reject null hypothesis.

There is evidence to conclude that the poll responses are independent of the participants' ethnic group.

A random sample of 1,000students from the Eastern United States resulted in the data in Table 11.13.

Number of PetsFrequency02101240232031404+90

At the 1% significance level, does it appear that the distribution 鈥渘umber of pets鈥 of students in the Eastern United States is different from the distribution for the United States student population as a whole? What is the p-value?

In 2007, the United States had 1.5 million homeschooled students, according to the U.S. National Center for Education Statistics. In Table 11.56 you can see that parents decide to homeschool their children for different reasons, and some reasons are ranked by parents as more important than others. According to the survey results shown in the table, is the distribution of applicable reasons the same as the distribution of the most important reason? Provide your assessment at the

5% significance level. Did you expect the result you obtained?

Transit Railroads is interested in the relationship between travel distance and the ticket class purchased. A random sample of 200passengers is taken. Table 11.31 shows the results. The railroad wants to know if a passenger鈥檚 choice in ticket class is independent of the distance they must travel.
