Chapter 11: Q. T 11.3 (page 765)

A random sample of traffic tickets given to motorists in a large city is examined. The tickets are classified according to the race or ethnicity of the driver. The results are summarized in the following table.

The proportion of this city's population in each of the racial/ethnic categories listed is as follows.

We wish to test H0: The racial/ethnic distribution of traffic tickets in the city is the same as the racial/ethnic distribution of the city's population.

Assuming H0is true, what is the expected number of Hispanic drivers who would receive a ticket?

a.8

b.10.36

c.11

d.11.84

e.12

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is (d) i.e.11.84.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We need to find the correct option for the given data.

02

Explanation

We know that

The sum of the no. of tickets in the sample is,

69+52+18+9=148

Now, multiply the sum by the Hispanic proportion i.e.

148脳0.08=11.84

Therefore,

Option (d) is the correct option.

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.

Relaxing in the sauna Researchers followed a random sample of 2315middle-aged men from eastern Finland for up to 30years. They recorded how often each man went to a sauna and whether or not he suffered sudden cardiac death (SCD). The two-way table shows the data from the study.

a. State appropriate hypotheses for performing a chi-square test for independence in this setting.

b. Compute the expected counts assuming that H0is true.

c. Calculate the chi-square test statistic, df, and P-value.

d. What conclusion would you draw?

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?

鈥淲ill changing the rating scale on a survey affect how people answer the question?鈥� To find out, the group took an SRS of 50students from an alphabetical roster of the school鈥檚 just over 1000students. The first 22students chosen were asked to rate the cafeteria food on a scale of 1(terrible) to 5(excellent). The remaining 28students were asked to rate the cafeteria food on a scale of 0(terrible) to 4(excellent). Here are the data:

a. Was this an observational study or an experiment? Justify your answer.

b. Explain why it would not be appropriate to perform a chi-square test in this setting.
