The City of South Lake Tahoe, CA, has an Asian population of people, out of a total population of . Suppose that a survey of self-reported Asians in the Manhattan, NY, area yielded the data in Table 11.38. Conduct a goodness-of-fit test to determine if the self-reported sub-groups of Asians in the Manhattan area fit that of the Lake Tahoe area.
Teachers want to know which night each week their students are doing most of their homework. Most teachers think that students do homework equally throughout the week. Suppose a random sample of 56 students were asked on which night of the week they did the most homework. The results were distributed as in Table 11.8.
From the population of students, do the nights for the highest number of students doing the majority of their homework occur with equal frequencies during a week? What type of hypothesis test should you use?
Table contains information from a survey among participants classified according to their age groups. The second column shows the percentage of obese people per age class among the study participants. The last column comes from a different study at the national level that shows the corresponding percentages of obese people in the same age classes in the USA. Perform a hypothesis test at the % significance level to determine whether the survey participants are a representative sample of the USA obese population.
| Age Class (Years) | Obese Expected (percentage) | Obese Observed (Frequencies) |
