Orange, lemon, cherry, raspberry, blueberry, and lime are among the six fruit flavours available in Kellogg's Froot Loops cereal. Charise counted the number of cereal pieces in each flavour as she poured out her morning bowl of cereal. Here are her statistics.

Test the null hypothesis that each flavour of Kellogg's Froot Loops is distributed evenly throughout the population. Perform a follow-up analysis if you discover a noteworthy result.

Short Answer

Expert verified

There is insufficient data to establish that the produced population of Froot Loops contains an equal amount of each taste.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Given in the question that, Kellogg’s Froot Loops cereal comes in six fruit flavors: orange, lemon, cherry, raspberry, blueberry, and lime. Charise poured out her morning bowl of cereal and methodically counted the number of cereal pieces of each flavor. Here are her data:

The test statistic will be calculated using the formula below.

χ2=∑(O-E)2E

The following are the null and alternative hypotheses:

localid="1650619689827" H0:p1=16

H0:p2=16

H0:p3=16

H0:p4=16

H0:p5=16

H0:p6=16

Ha:At least one of piis different

∑(O-E)2E2=7.9

The following is the test statistic:

localid="1650619811979" χ2=∑(O-E)2E=7.9

The formula for calculating the degree of freedom is:

Degreeoffreedom=Numberofcategories-1=6-1=5

At 5degrees of freedom, the p-value using the chi-square table is 0.162.

Here the p-Value will be higher than the level of significance. The null hypothesis is not disproved.

Yahtzee (5.3,6.3)In the game of Yahtzee, 5six-sided dice are rolled simultaneously. To get a Yahtzee, the player must get the same number on all 5dice.

(a) Luis says that the probability of getting a Yahtzee in one roll of the dice is 165. Explain why Luis is wrong.

(b) Nassir decides to keep rolling all 5 dice until he gets a Yahtzee. He is surprised when he still hasn’t gotten a Yahtzee after25rolls. Should he be? Calculate an appropriate probability to support your answer .

After randomly assigning subjects to treatments in a randomized comparative experiment, we can compare the treatment groups to see how well the random assignment worked. We hope to find no significant differences among the groups. A study on how to provide premature infants with a substance essential to their development assigned infants at random to receive one of four types of supplements, called PBM, NLCP, PL-LCP, and TG-LCP. The subjects were 77premature infants. In the experiment, 20were assigned to the PBM group and 19to each of the other treatments.

(a) The random assignment resulted in 9females in the TG-LCP group and 11 females in each of the other groups. Make a two-way table of the group by gender. Calculate the proportion of females in each treatment group. Does it appear that the random assignment roughly balanced the groups by gender? Explain.

(b) Are the differences between the groups statistically significant? Give appropriate evidence to support your answer.

The P-value for a chi-square goodness-of-fit test is 0.0129. The correct conclusion is

(a) reject H0at α=0.05; there is strong evidence that the trees are randomly distributed.

(b) reject H0at α=0.05; there is not strong evidence that the trees are randomly distributed.

(c) reject H0at α=0.05; there is strong evidence that the trees are not randomly distributed.

(d) fail to reject H0at α=0.05; there is not strong evidence that the trees are randomly distributed.

(e) fail to reject H0at α=0.05; there is strong evidence that the trees are randomly distributed.

A large distributor of gasoline claims that 60%all cars stopping at their service stations choose regular unleaded gas and that premium and supreme are each selected 20%of the time. To investigate this claim, researchers collected data from a random sample of drivers who put gas in their vehicles at the distributor's service stations in a large city. The results were as follows:

Carry out a significance test of the distributor's claim. Use a 5%significance level.

Reading and grades (10.2) Summary statistics for the two groups from Minitab are provided below.

(a) Explain why it is acceptable to use two-sample t procedures in this setting.

(b) Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the mean English grade for light and heavy readers.

(c) Does the interval in part (b) provide convincing evidence that reading more causes an increase in students’ English grades? Justify your answer.
