Chapter 11: Q 6. (page 716)

Roulette Refer to Exercise 2.

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 whether or not the roulette wheel is operating correctly?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) The df=2

Part (b) The P-value=0.1108

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

ColorObserved countFrequencyExpected count
Red850.4794.74
Black990.4794.74
Green160.0510.53
Total2001.00200

The chi-square test statistic =4.04

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=3-1=2

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

The chi-square test statistic =4.04

The degrees of freedom =2

04

Part (b) Step 2: Calculation

The p-value using table for df=2 is,

0.10<P<0.15

The excel formula, =CHIDIST(4.40,2)

P-value =0.1108

05

Part (c) Step 1: Given information

The chi-square test statistic =4.04

The degrees of freedom =2

The p-value=0.1108

06

Part (c) Step 2: Calculation

Here, p-value>0.05fail to reject H0

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

Explain why we can鈥檛 use a chi-square test to learn whether these two distributions differ

significantly.

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?

Stress and heart attacks You read a newspaper article that describes a study of whether stress management can help reduce heart attacks. The 107subjects all had reduced blood flow to the heart and so were at risk of a heart attack. They were assigned at random to three groups. The article goes on to say:

One group took a four-month stress management program, another underwent a four-month exercise program, and the third received usual heart care from their personal physicians. In the next three years, only 3of the 33people in the stress management group suffered "cardiac events," defined as a fatal or non-fatal heart attack or a surgical procedure such as a bypass or angioplasty. In the same period, 7of the 34people in the exercise group and 12out of the 40patients in usual care suffered such events.

a. Use the information in the news article to make a two-way table that describes the study results.

b. Compare the success rates of the three treatments in preventing cardiac events.

c. Do the data provide convincing evidence at the 伪=0.05level that the true success rates for patients like these are not the same for the three treatments?

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).

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).
