Refer to Exercises 1 and 3.

(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’s C2cdf command

(d) What conclusion would you draw about the company’s claimed distribution for its deluxe mixed nuts? Justify your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The degree of freedom is 3 and we will use chi- square distribution.

(b)

(c) The value of pis 0.086

(d) There is insufficient evidence to dismiss the company's claim.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information

Given in the question to refer exercise 1 and 3.

The projected counts must be large enough for the chi-square distribution to be used. We have to calculate the degree of freedom as well.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

To calculate the degree of freedom, use the following formula:

Freedom of degree = number of categories-1.

The predicted counts can be calculated as follows:

E(Cashews)=150×(0.52)=78

E(Almonds)=150×(0.27)=40.5

E(Macadamia)=150×(0.13)=19.5

E(Brazil)=150×(0.08)=12

If ALL predicted counts are at least 5, the expected counts are large enough to employ a chi-square distribution.

The degree of freedom is as follows:

df=C-1=4-1=3

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information 

According to the information, we know that the test statistic is 6.5988.

We must create a graph that displays the p value.

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation 

From Part (a), we observed that the degree of freedom is 3.

As a result, the Chi-square distribution with three degrees of freedom must be used. The P-value is the possibility of winning the test statistic's value, or a number that is more extreme.

05

Part (c) Step 1: Given Information

According to the information,χ2=6.5988

Using a table and calculator, we must calculate the P-value.

06

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

Using the table, the pvalue at 2 degrees of freedom is:

P-value=Pχ2>χStatistic2

=Pχ2>6.5988

=0.086

Let's use the Ti-83 calculator to find the pvalue:

07

Part (d) Step 1: Given Information

From the previous part, we know that the χ2=6.5988.

We must reach a conclusion regarding the company's claim.

08

Part (d) Step 2: Explanation

The significance level is exceeded by the P-value. The null hypothesis is un rejectable. As a result, there is lack of evidence to dismiss the company's distribution claim for its deluxe mixed nuts.

(b) there is no difference between female and male teenagers in this sample in their distributions of opinions about marriage.

(c) there is no difference between female and male teenagers in the population in their distributions of opinions about marriage.

(d) there is no association between gender and opinion about marriage in the sample.

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?

How do U.S. residents who travel overseas for leisure differ from those who travel for business? The following is the breakdown by occupation:

Explain why we can’t use a chi-square test to learn whether these two distributions differ significantly.

The University of Chicago’s General Social Survey (GSS) is the nation’s most important social science sample survey. For reasons known only to social scientists, the GSS regularly asks a random sample of people their astrological sign. Here are the counts of responses from a recent GSS:

12If births are spread uniformly across the year, we expect all 12 signs to be equally likely. Are these data inconsistent with that belief? Carry out an appropriate test to support your answer. If you find a significant result, perform a follow-up analysis

The cell in the table that contributes the most to the chi-square statistic is (a) Female, 50–50 chance.

(b) Male, 50–50 chance.

(c) Female, almost certain.

(d) Male, almost certain.

(e) All the cells contribute equally to the test statistic.
