Chapter 11: Q 22. (page 718)

The manager of a high school cafeteria is planning to offer several new types of food for student lunches in the new school year. She wants to know if each type of food will be equally popular so she can start ordering supplies and making other plans. To find out, she selects a random sample of 100students and asks them, 鈥淲hich type of food do you prefer: Ramen, tacos, pizza, or hamburgers?鈥� Here are her data:

Which of the following is false?

a. A chi-square distribution with k degrees of freedom is more right-skewed than a chi square distribution with k+1 degrees of freedom.

b. A chi-square distribution never takes negative values.

c. The degrees of freedom for a chi-square test are determined by the sample size.

d. P(蠂2>10) is greater when df=k+1 than when df=k

e. The area under a chi-square density curve is always equal to 1

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is (c).

Step by step solution

01

Given information

02

Calculation

Option c is wrong among the possibilities presented. The number of categories determines the degrees of freedom of a chi-square test. df=c-1 is the formula. As a result, sample size has no bearing on degrees of freedom.

Preventing strokes Refer to Exercise 38. Which treatment seems to be most effective? Least effective? Justify your choices.

All current-carrying wires produce electromagnetic (EM) radiation, including the electrical wiring running into, through, and out of our homes. High-frequency EM radiation is thought to be a cause of cancer. The lower frequencies associated with household current are generally assumed to be harmless. To investigate the relationship between current configuration and type of cancer, researchers visited the addresses of a random sample of children who had died of some form of cancer (leukemia, lymphoma, or some other type) and classified the wiring configuration outside the dwelling as either a high-current configuration (HCC) or a low-current configuration (LCC). Here are the data:

Computer software was used to analyze the data. The output included the value X2=0.435

Which of the following is the appropriate degrees of freedom for the X2test?

a. 1

b. 2

c. 3

d. 4

e. 5

Last python Refer to Exercises 28 and 30.

a. Verify that the conditions for inference are met.

b. Use Table C to find the P-value. Then use your calculator鈥檚 蠂2 cdf command.

c. Interpret the P-value from the calculator.

d. What conclusion would you draw using 伪=0.10?

Cocaine addicts need cocaine to feel any pleasure, so perhaps giving them an antidepressant drug will help. A 3-year study with 72chronic cocaine users compared an antidepressant drug called desipramine with lithium (a standard drug to treat cocaine addiction) and a placebo. One-third of the subjects were randomly assigned to receive each treatment. At the end of the study, researchers recorded whether or not the subjects relapsed. Which of the following conditions must be satisfied to perform the appropriate chi-square test using the data from this study?

I. The population distribution is approximately Normal.

II. The treatments were randomly assigned.

III. The observed counts are all at least 5.

a. I only

b. II only

c. III only

d. II and III

e. I, II, and III

When analyzing survey results from a two-way table, the main distinction between a test for independence and a test for homogeneity is

a. how the degrees of freedom are calculated.

b. how the expected counts are calculated.

c. the number of samples obtained.

d. the number of rows in the two-way table.

e. the number of columns in the two-way table.
