Chapter 11: Q 5. (page 716)

Aw, nuts! Refer to Exercise 1.

a. Confirm that the expected counts are large enough to use a chi-square distribution to calculate the P-value. What degrees of freedom should you use?

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

c. What conclusion would you draw about the company鈥檚 claimed distribution for its deluxe mixed nuts?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) The df=3

Part (b) P-value =0.0858

Part (c) There isn't enough evidence to refute the claim concerning the probability distribution in question.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

Type of countCountFrequencyExpected
Cashew8352%78
Almond2927%40.5
Macadamia2013%19.5
Brazil188%12
Total150100%150

Chi square test statistic=6.60

02

Part (a) Step 2: Calculation

The projected counts are large enough to use a chi-square distribution if all predicted counts are at least 5This condition is satisfied.

The degrees of freedom =df=c-1=4-1=3

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

The degrees of freedom =df=3

04

Part (b) Step 2: Calculation

The p-value using table for df=3 is,

0.05<P<0.10

The excel formula, =CHIDIST(6.6,3)

P-value=0.0858

05

Part (c) Step 1: Calculation

Chi square test statistic=6.60

The degrees of freedom=df=c-1=4-1=3

P-value=0.0858

Here, p-value>0.05fail to reject H0

There isn't enough evidence to refute the claim concerning the probability distribution in question.

Munching Froot Loops Kellogg鈥檚 Froot Loops cereal comes in six colors:

orange, yellow, purple, red, blue, and green. Charise randomly selected 120 loops and noted the color of each. Here are her data:

Do these data provide convincing evidence at the 5% significance level that Kellogg鈥檚 Froot Loops do not contain an equal proportion of each color?

Where do young adults live? A survey by the National Institutes of Health asked a random sample of young adults (aged 19to 25years), 鈥淲here do you live now? That is, where do you stay most often?鈥� Here is the full two-way table (omitting a few who refused to answer and one who reported being homeless):

a. Should we use a chi-square test for homogeneity or a chi-square test for independence in this setting? Justify your answer.

b. State appropriate hypotheses for performing the type of test you chose in part (a). Here is Minitab output from a chi-square test.

c. Check that the conditions for carrying out the test are met.

d. Interpret the P-value. What conclusion would you draw?

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:

The chi-square test statistic is

a. (18鈭�25)225+(22鈭�25)225+(39鈭�25)225+(21鈭�25)225

b. (25鈭�18)218+(25鈭�22)222+(25鈭�39)239+(25鈭�21)221

c. (18鈭�25)25+(22鈭�25)25+(39鈭�25)25+(21鈭�25)25

d. (18鈭�25)2100+(22鈭�25)2100+(39鈭�25)2100+(21鈭�25)2100

e. (0.18鈭�0.25)20.25+(0.22鈭�0.25)20.25+(0.39鈭�0.25)20.25+(0.21鈭�0.25)20.25

Opinions about the death penaltyThe General Social Survey (GSS) asked separate random samples of people with only a high school degree and people with a bachelor鈥檚 degree, 鈥淒o you favor or oppose the death penalty for persons convicted of murder?鈥� Of the 1379people with only a high school degree, 1010 favored the death penalty, while 319of the 504people with a bachelor鈥檚 degree favored the death penalty. 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. 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).

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)?
