A professor using an open source introductory statistics book predicts that 15% of the students will purchase a hard copy of the book, 35% will print it out from the web, and 50% will read it online. At the end of the semester he asks his students to complete a survey where they indicate what format of the book they used. Of the 276 students, 36 said they bought a hard copy of the book, 107 said they printed it out from the web, and 133 said they read it online. Round all answers to four decimal places.

Question

 A professor using an open source introductory statistics book predicts that 15% of the students will purchase a hard copy of the book, 35% will print it out from the web, and 50% will read it online. At the end of the semester he asks his students to complete a survey where they indicate what format of the book they used. Of the 276 students, 36 said they bought a hard copy of the book, 107 said they printed it out from the web, and 133 said they read it online. Round all answers to four decimal places.

### Hypothesis Testing Exercise

#### 2. Enter the expected values for the hypothesis test in the table below:
| Book Format    | Expected Value |
|----------------|----------------|
| Hard copy      |                |
| Print from web |                |
| Read online    |                |

#### 3. Calculate the chi-squared statistic:
[Text box for answer]

#### 4. Calculate the degrees of freedom:
[Text box for answer]

#### 5. Calculate the p-value:
[Text box for answer]

---

#### Instructions:

1. **Expected Values**:
   - In the table provided, enter the expected values for each book format based on your hypothesis.

2. **Chi-Squared Statistic**:
   - Calculate the chi-squared statistic using the formula:
     \[
     \chi^2 = \sum \frac{(O_i - E_i)^2}{E_i}
     \]
     where \(O_i\) is the observed frequency and \(E_i\) is the expected frequency.

3. **Degrees of Freedom**:
   - Calculate the degrees of freedom for your test using the formula:
     \[
     \text{Degrees of Freedom} = (r - 1)(c - 1)
     \]
     where \(r\) is the number of rows and \(c\) is the number of columns.

4. **P-Value**:
   - Use the chi-squared statistic and degrees of freedom to find the p-value from the chi-squared distribution table or using statistical software.

---

This exercise will help you understand how to perform hypothesis testing using the chi-squared test for independence. Ensure your calculations are accurate and review the statistical methods if needed.
