Seagulls by the seashore Do seagulls show a preference for where they land? To answer this question, biologists conducted a study in an enclosed outdoor space with a piece of shore whose area was made up of % sand, % mud, and % rocks. The biologists chose seagulls at random. Each seagull was released into the outdoor space on its own and observed until it landed somewhere on the piece of shore. In all, seagulls landed on the sand, role="math" localid="1650465230449" landed in the mud, and role="math" localid="1650465221489" landed on the rocks. Carry out a chi-square goodness-of-铿乼 test. What do you conclude?
A study of identity theft looked at how well consumers protect themselves from this increasingly prevalent crime. The behaviors of randomly selected college students were compared with the behaviors of randomly selected non students.One 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, agreed with this statement while of 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 Chapter. Compare the results and verify that the chi-square
statistic is the square of the z statistic.
No answer Explain carefully how nonresponse could lead to bias in this project
Interpret the -value from the calculator in context.
The General Social Survey asked a random sample of adults, 鈥淒o you favour or oppose the death penalty for persons convicted of murder?鈥 The following table gives the responses of people whose highest education was a high school degree and of people with a bachelor鈥檚 degree:

We can test the hypothesis of 鈥渘o difference鈥 in support for the death penalty among people in these educational categories in two ways: with a two-sample z test or with a chi-square test.
(a) Minitab output for a chi-square test is shown below. State appropriate hypotheses and interpret the P-value in context. What conclusion would you draw? Chi-Square Test: C1, C2 Expected counts are printed below-observed counts Chi-Square contributions are printed below expected counts

(b) Minitab output for a two-sample z test is shown below. Explain how these results are consistent with the test in part (a).
