Chapter 11: Q. 2.1 (page 684)

Let鈥檚 continue our analysis of Joey鈥檚 sample of M&M鈥橲 Peanut Chocolate Candies from the previous Check Your Understanding (page 681). Here is the brief intro of the question:

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.

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

Short Answer

Expert verified

Yes we can use use Chi-square distribution here.

The degree of freedom here is5.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We are expected about 23% of the candies are blue and orange, 15% each of green and yellow, and 12% each of red and brown.

Joey buys candies and counted the colors of the candies in his sample: 12 blue, 7 orange, 13 green, 4 yellow, 8 red, and 2 brown.

02

Explanation

We are given that the frequencies are varing across different observations therefore we can use Chi-square distribution.

Also the no. of different objects are n=6.

Therefore the degree of freedom isn-1=5.

Market research Before bringing a new product to market, firms carry out extensive studies to learn how consumers react to the product and how best to advertise its advantages. Here are data from a study of a new laundry detergent. The participants are a random sample of people who don鈥檛 currently use the established brand that the new product will compete with. Give subjects free samples of both detergents. After they have tried both for a while, ask which they prefer. The answers may depend on other facts about how people do laundry.

(a) How are laundry practices (water hardness and wash temperature) related to the choice of detergent? Make an appropriate graph to display this relationship. Describe what you see.

(b) Determine whether or not the sample provides convincing evidence that laundry practices and product preference are independent in the population of interest
