Chapter 11: Q. T11.6 (page 765)

Which of the following statements about chi-square distributions are true?

I. For all chi-square distributions, P(x2鈮�0)=1

II. A chi-square distribution with fewer than 10degrees of freedom is roughly symmetric.

III. The more degrees of freedom a chi-square distribution has, the larger the mean of the distribution.

a. I only

b. II only

c. III only

d. I and III

e. I, II, and III

Short Answer

Expert verified

Option(d) is correct. Statement I and III are correct about chi-square distributions.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We need to find correct statement about chi-square distributions.

02

Simplify

Statement I-

Because the chi-square distribution is specified solely for non-negative numbers, Statement I is correct.
Hence, P(x2鈮�0)=1
Statement II-

It is incorrect since the chi-square distribution is always biassed to the right, hence it can't be a nearly symmetric distribution with less than 10 degrees of freedom.
Statement III-

It is correct because the degrees of freedom are the mean of the chi-square distribution.
As a result, as the degrees of freedom increase, the mean rises.

Therefore, Statement I and III are correct.

Finger length Is your index finger longer than your ring finger? Or is it the other way around? It isn't the same for everyone. To investigate if there is a relationship between gender and relative finger length, we selected a random sample of 460U.S. high school students who completed a survey. The two-way table shows the results.


Do these data provide convincing evidence at the 伪=0.10level of an association between gender and relative finger length in the population of students who completed the survey?

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

Roulette Casinos are required to verify that their games operate as advertised. American roulette wheels have 38 蝉濒辞迟蝉鈥�18 red, 18 black, and 2 green. In one casino, managers record data from a random sample of 200 spins of one of their American roulette wheels. The table displays the results.

a. State appropriate hypotheses for testing whether these data give convincing evidence that the distribution of outcomes on this wheel is not what it should be.

b. Calculate the expected count for each color.

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

Skittles庐 Statistics teacher Jason Mole sky contacted Mars, Inc., to ask about the color distribution for Skittles candies. Here is an excerpt from the response he received: 鈥淭he original flavor blend for the Skittles Bite Size Candies is lemon, green apple, orange, strawberry and grape. They were chosen as a result of consumer preference tests we conducted. The flavor blend is 20 percent of each flavor.鈥�

a. State appropriate hypotheses for a significance test of the company鈥檚 claim.

b. Find the expected counts for a random sample of 60 candies.

c. How large a 蠂2test statistic would you need to have significant evidence against the company鈥檚 claim at the 伪=0.05 level? At the 伪=0.01 level?

d. Create a set of observed counts for a random sample of 60 candies that gives a P-value between 0.01 and 0.05 Show the calculation of your chi-square test statistic.

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?
