Question
120 students' preferences for the five Statistics professors at a college are given in the table below. The objective is to conduct a chi-square goodness-of-fit test at α=0.05�=0.05 to determine if there are preferences for some professors. The dean, however, wishes they are liked equally.
a. Fill in the missing values in the given table.
Professor Observed Frequency
f�
Expected Frequency
e�
(f−e)2e(�−�)2�
A 25
 
 
B 16
 
 
C 31
 
 
D 21
 
 
E 27
 
 
Report expected frequencies (e)o 1 decimal place.
Report (f−e)2evalues to 3 decimal places.
b. The alternate hypothesis is
There is no preference for any of the professors
There is a preference for some professors
c. Calculate the value of the test statistic.
χ2=
 
Round values to 2 decimal places.
d. What are the degrees of freedom for this test?
d.f.=
 
e. What is the critical value for this test at α=0.05�=0.05 ?
Critical Value=Critical Value= 
 
Round values to 1 decimal place.
f. Based on these results, the correct decision at α=0.05 is:
Reject H0; there is not enough evidence of preference for some professors.
Do not reject H0; there is not enough evidence of preference for some professors.
Reject H0; there is enough evidence of preference for some professors.
Do not reject H0; there is enough evidence of preference for some professors.
