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.

No chi-squareThe principal in Exercise 9also asked the random sample of students to record whether they did all of the homework that was assigned on each of the 铿乿e school days that week. Here are the data:

Explain carefully why it would not be appropriate to perform a chi-square goodness-of-铿乼 test using these data.

Your teacher prepares a large container full of colored beads. She claims that 1/8of the beads are red, 1/4are blue, and the remainder are yellow. Your class will take a simple random sample of beads from the container to test the teacher鈥檚 claim. The smallest number of beads you can take so that the conditions for performing inference are met is

(a) 15. (c) 30. (e) 80.

(b) 16. (d) 40

Gregor Mendel (1822鈥�1884), an Austrian monk, is considered the father of genetics. Mendel studied the inheritance of various traits in pea plants. One such trait is whether the pea is smooth or wrinkled. Mendel predicted a ratio of 3smooth peas for every 1 wrinkled pea. In one experiment, he observed 423 smooth and133 wrinkled peas. The data were produced in such a way that the Random and Independent conditions are met. Carry out a chi-square goodness-of-fit test based on Mendel鈥檚 prediction. What do you conclude?

Birds in the trees Researchers studied the behavior of birds that were searching for seeds and insects in an Oregon forest. In this forest, 54% of the trees were Douglas 铿乺s, 40% were ponderosa pines, and 6% were other types of trees. At a randomly selected time during the day, the researchers observed 156red-breasted nuthatches: 70were seen in Douglas 铿乺s, 79in ponderosa pines, and 7 in other types of trees.2 Do these data suggest that nuthatches prefer particular types of trees when they鈥檙e searching for seeds and insects? Carry out a chi-square goodness-of-铿乼 test to help answer this question.

The nonprofit group Public Agenda conducted telephone interviews with three randomly selected groups of parents of high school children. There were 202black parents, 202Hispanic parents, and 201white parents. One question asked was 鈥淎re the high schools in your state doing an excellent, good, fair, or poor job, or don鈥檛 you know enough to say?鈥� Here are the survey results:

(a) Calculate the conditional distribution (in proportions) of responses for each group of parents.

(b) Make an appropriate graph for comparing the conditional distributions in part (a).

(c) Write a few sentences comparing the distributions of responses for the three groups of parents
