Chapter 11: Q. 44 (page 755)

Regulating guns The National Gun Policy Survey asked a random sample of adults, "Do you think there should be a law that would ban possession of handguns except for the police and other authorized persons?" Here are the responses, broken down by the respondent's level of education:

Do these data provide convincing evidence at the 伪=0.05level of an association between education level and opinion about a handgun ban in the adult population?

Short Answer

Expert verified

No, the data is not convincing evidence at the level of an association.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We need to find out whether the data provided is convincing evidence or not.

02

Explanation

We know that

The null hypothesis asserts that the variables are unrelated, whereas the alternative hypothesis asserts that they are.

H0is there is no association between opinion and education level.

H伪is there is an association between opinion and education level.

And expected frequencies are a product of row and column total divided by table total.

And The squared differences between the actual and predicted frequencies, divided by the expected frequency, make up the chi-square subtotals.

Therefore, the data is not convincing evidence at the level of an association.

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?

Mendel and the peas 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 3 smooth peas for every 1 wrinkled pea. In one experiment, he observed 423 smooth and 133 wrinkled peas. Assume that the conditions for inference are met.

a. Carry out a chi-square test for goodness of fit for the genetic model that Mendel predicted.

b. In Chapter 9Exercise 49 you tested Mendel鈥檚 prediction using a one-sample z test for a proportion. The hypotheses were H0:p=0.75and Ha:p鈮�0.75where p= true proportion of smooth peas. Calculate the z statistic and P-value for this test. How do these values compare to the values from part (a)?

Treating ulcers Gastric freezing was once a recommended treatment for ulcers in the upper intestine. Use of gastric freezing stopped after experiments showed it had no effect. One randomized comparative experiment found that28of the 82gastric-freezing patients improved, while 30of the 78patients in the placebo group improved. We can test the hypothesis of 鈥渘o difference鈥� in the effectiveness of the treatments in two ways: with a two-sample z test or with a chi-square test.

a. State appropriate hypotheses for a chi-square test.

b. Here is Minitab output for a chi-square test. Interpret the P-value. What conclusion would you draw?

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

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

The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health interviewed a random sample of 4877teens (grades 7to 12). One question asked, 鈥淲hat do you think are the chances you will be married in the next 10years?鈥� Here is a two-way table of the responses by gender:

Which of the following is the appropriate null hypothesis for performing a chi-square test?

a. Equal proportions of female and male teenagers are almost certain they will be married in 10years.

b. There is no difference between the distributions of female and male teenagers鈥� opinions about marriage in this sample.

c. There is no difference between the distributions of female and male teenagers鈥� opinions about marriage in the population.

d. There is no association between gender and opinion about marriage in the sample.

e. There is no association between gender and opinion about marriage in the population.
