Chapter 11: Q. 2 (page 733)

Which hypotheses would be appropriate for performing a chi-square test?

(a) The null hypothesis is that the closer students get to graduation, the less likely they are to be opposed to tuition increases. The alternative is that how close students are to graduation makes no difference in their opinion.

(b) The null hypothesis is that the mean number of students who are strongly opposed is the same for each of the four years. The alternative is that the mean is different for at least two of the four years.

(c) The null hypothesis is that the distribution of student opinion about the proposed tuition increase is the same for each of the four years at this university. The alternative is that the distribution is different for at least two of the four years.

(d) The null hypothesis is that year in school and student opinion about the tuition increase in the sample are independent. The alternative is that these variables are dependent.

(e) The null hypothesis is that there is an association between a year in school and opinion about the tuition increase at this university. The alternative hypothesis is that these variables are not associated.

Step by step solution

Given Information

Need to find Which hypotheses would be appropriate for performing a chi-square test.

02

Explanation

We have been given a two-way table for 4 separate random samples, which implies that we will use a chi-square test for homogeneity (we use a chi-square test of association when the two-way table contains data about 1 sample).

The null hypothesis of a two-way table states that the distributions of each value of one of the variables are the same

H0 : The distribution of student opinion about the proposed tuition increase is the same for each of the 4 years at this university

The alternative hypothesis states the opposite of the null hypothesis.

Ha : The distribution is different for at least 2 of the 4 years

A survey by the National Institutes of Health asked a random sample of young adults (aged 19 to 25 years), 鈥淲here do you live now? That is, where do you stay most often?鈥� Here is the full two-way table (omitting a few who refused to answer and one who claimed to be homeless):

a) Should we use a chi-square test for homogeneity or a chi-square test of association/independence in this setting? Justify your answer.

(b) State appropriate hypotheses for performing the type of test you chose in part (a). Minitab output from a chi-square test is shown below

(c) Check that the conditions for carrying out the test are met.

(d) Interpret the P-value in context. What conclusion would you draw?

Mars, Inc., reports that their M&M鈥橲 Peanut Chocolate Candies are produced according to the following color distribution: 23% each of blue and orange, 15% each of green and yellow, and 12% each of red and brown. Joey bought a bag of Peanut Chocolate Candies and counted the colors of the candies in his sample: 12 blue, 7 orange, 13 green, 4 yellow, 8 red, and 2 brown.

Calculate the expected count for each color, assuming that the company鈥檚 claim is true. Show your work.

Refer to Exercises 2 and 4.

(a) Confirm that the expected counts are large enough to use a chi-square distribution. Which distribution (specify the degrees of freedom) should you use?

(b) Sketch a graph like Figure 11.4 (page 683) that shows the P-value.

(c) Use Table C to find the P-value. Then use your calculator鈥檚 C2cdf command.

(d) What conclusion would you draw about whether the roulette wheel is operating correctly? Justify your answer

What is the most important reason that students buy from catalogs? The answer may differ for different groups of students. Here are results for separate random samples of American and Asian students at a large midwestern university

(a) Should we use a chi-square test for homogeneity or a chi-square test of association/independence in this setting? Justify your answer. (b) State appropriate hypotheses for performing the type of test you chose in part (a). Minitab output from a chi-square test is shown below.

(c) Check that the conditions for carrying out the test are met.

(d) Interpret the P-value in context. What conclusion would you draw?

A study of identity theft looked at how well consumers protect themselves from this increasingly prevalent crime. The behaviors of 61randomly selected college students were compared with the behaviors of 59randomly selected non students.39One of the questions was 鈥淲hen asked to create a password, I have used either my mother鈥檚 maiden name, or my pet鈥檚 name, or my birth date,

or the last four digits of my social security number, or a series of consecutive numbers.鈥� For the students, 22agreed with this statement while 30of the nonstudents agreed.

a) Display the data in a two-way table and perform

the appropriate chi-square test. Summarize the results.

(b) Reanalyze the data using the methods for comparing two proportions that we studied in Chapter10. Compare the results and verify that the chi-square

statistic is the square of the z statistic.
