Question

A random sample of residents from various income brackets were asked their opinion on tax reform for the country of Guyana. The data so gathered were analyzed by a statistician and the results he obtained using MINITAB are shown below:

 

Expected counts are printed below observed counts

                   Low                  Middle               High                    Total                    

  For          26                           75                      14                        115                                                  

                (30.67)                    (51.11)                (33.22)

 

Against        60                          95                         105                 260                                                    

                   (69.33)                  (115.56)                    (**)                 

 

Neutral         34                            30                       11                  75                                                                                 

                      (20)                       (33.33)                 (21.67)

Total                *                         200                         130               450                                          

 

Chi-sq = 0.71 + 11.17 + 11.12 + *** + 3.66 + 11.89 + 9.8 + 0.33 + 5.25 = 55.2

DF = ??, p – value = ??

 

  1. Carefully define the null and alternative hypotheses of the ꭓ² test underlying the generation of the above table
  2. Find the missing values *, **, ***, ?? and ???.
  3. What is the conclusion of this test? Give reasons for your answer.
