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.

a. State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.

b. Show the calculation for the expected count in the Cold/Yes cell. Then provide a

complete table of expected counts.

c. Calculate the value of the chi-square test statistic.

Fewer TVs? The United States Energy Information Administration periodically surveys a random sample of U.S. households to determine how they use energy. One of the variables they track is how many TVs are in a household (None, 1,2,3,4,or5or more). The computer output compares the distribution of number of TVs for households in 2009and2015.

a. Which chi-square test is appropriate to analyze these data? Explain your answer.

b. Show how the numbers 252and 14.113were obtained for the 2009/Nonecell.

c. Which 3cells contribute most to the chi-square test statistic? How do the observed and expected counts compare for these cells?

Distance from home A study of first-year college students asked separate random samples of students from private and public universities the following question: 鈥淗ow many miles is this university from your permanent home?鈥� Students had to choose from the following options:5or fewer, 6to 10,11to 50,51to 100,101to 500, or more than 500. Here is the two-way table summarizing the responses:

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?

Preventing strokes Aspirin prevents blood from clotting and so helps prevent strokes.

The Second European Stroke Prevention Study asked whether adding another anticlotting

drug named dipyridamole would be more effective for patients who had already had a

stroke. Here are the data on strokes during the two years of the study

a. Summarize these data in a two-way table.

b. Do the data provide convincing evidence of a difference in the effectiveness of the four

treatments at the伪=0.05significance level?

Gummy bears Courtney and Lexi wondered if the distribution of color was

the same for name-brand gummy bears (Haribo Gold) and store-brand gummy bears

(Great Value). To investigate, they randomly selected bags of each type and counted the

number of gummy bears of each color.

Do these data provide convincing evidence that the distributions of color differ for name-

brand gummy bears and store-brand gummy bears?
